Rectal & Lower Abdomen Cancers

The lower abdomen within our body is located behind our belly button up to the anus. The organs in the lower abdomen mainly handle the last part of digestion, evacuation and reproduction.

The organs in the lower abdomen include some parts of the small and large intestines, rectum, colon, prostate gland, bladder, uterus, and ovaries.

Lower abdomen cancers include colon, rectal, and other types of cancer affecting the pelvic region.

Symptoms of lower abdomen cancers may include abdominal pain, bloating, changes in bowel or bladder habits, and unexplained weight loss.

Treatment options depend on the type and stage of cancer but may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination of these approaches. Early detection and treatment can improve outcomes for people with lower abdomen cancer.
