This is rectal Ca , likely metastatic, given the enlargement of external iliac and retroperitoneal LN Needs to be discussed on a tumor board as one has to be sure about the above lymph nodes, and that they are indeed involved with cancer. If these lymph nodes are indeed involved (which looks like the case) then the approach will be palliative chemotherapy vs curative intent therapy if they are not. Refer the patient to see a medical oncologist. If I was a betting man, I would consider this as metastatic (stage 4) rectal cancer

PT might hav ca recto sigmoid region sigmoid scopy n biopsy
Ca Rectum Adv- FDG PET Scan. Colonoscopy with Biopsy for HPE. Rx- Surgical modalities- depending upon the stage and extent of spread of Ca. Lymph node dissection,Chemotherapy & Radiotherapy,Immunotherapy
Case of Carcinoma recto-sigmoid junction with ascites- metastatic Approach would be- CEA , Hb ( bleeding P/R), colonoscopy and biopsy ( if not possible cytopathology of ascitic fluid- this may not be feasible as the volume is minimal), PET CT scan for staging ( if not affordable for PET- cxr-PA, bone scan and USG abdomen & pelvis). Treatment would be palliative chemotherapy followed by assessment for surgery. Please refer this case to medical oncologist.
This is a case of ca rectum Stage 4 because of ascites Now go for CTRT

World Cancer Day is an international day marked on February 4 to raise AWARENESS of CANCER and to encourage its prevention, detection, and treatment. World Cancer Day was founded by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) to support the goals of the World Cancer Declaration, written in 2008. The primary goal of World Cancer Day is to significantly reduce illness and death caused by cancer[1] and is an opportunity to rally the international community to end the injustice of preventable suffering from cancer.[2] : World Cancer Day themes . In 2016, World Cancer Day started a three-year campaign under the tagline of 'We can. I can.', which explored the power of collective and individual actions to reduce the impact of cancer. 2019 will be the start of a new campaign theme. Year Theme 2019 - 2021 'I Am and I Will.'. 2016 - 2018 'We can. I can.' 2015 Not Beyond Us. 2014 Debunk the Myths. 2013 Cancer Myths - Get the Facts . 2012 Together let's do something. 2011 Cancer can be prevented. : World Cancer Day Facts & Quotes... In 2019, a new three-year campaign will be launched called "I Am and I Will". The focus of the campaign is on individuals taking action now. The tagline for World Cancer Day 2016-2018's campaign is We can. I can. This tagline attempted to explore what society as a whole and each individual on their own can do to reduce cancer worldwide. Breast, lung and prostate cancer are the most commonly diagnosed cancers in the United States. Approximately 70% of patients with lung cancer die, while only 16% and 14% of patients with breast and prostate cancer suffer the same fate. Childhood cancers are not common. Less than 1% of all cancer diagnoses in a given year will be for a child under the age of 15. According to the World Health Organization, at least one-third of all cancer cases are preventable. Lifestyle changes such as, not smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, keeping active and eating right can prevent certain types of cancer. Since cancer knows no boundaries, and individual countries cannot address the challenges of cancer in isolation, a new cooperative approach to research, advocacy, prevention and treatment must be established. - Paris Charter ** Some of the Most Common Signs and Symptoms of Cancer. ** Although every case is different, some general signs and symptoms of cancer include: Weight loss Unexplained weight loss of 10 pounds or more may be one of the first signs of cancer. Weight loss is common in people who have pancreatic, stomach, esophageal, or lung cancer, but can occur with any type of cancer. * Fever Fevers frequently crop up when a cancer has metastasized. Night sweats often accompany the fevers. Nearly all people with cancer will experience a fever at some point. * Fatigue Feeling extremely tired can be a symptom of cancer in your body. * A lump A lump or thickening of skin can be an early or late sign of cancer. People with cancers in the breast, lymph nodes, soft tissues, and testicles typically have lumps. * Skin changes Yellowing, darkening, or redness of the skin can signal cancer. Also, sores that don’t heal should be checked out. Additionally, moles, freckles, or warts that change in color, shape, or size could be a sign of skin cancer. * Pain Most of the time, pain happens because the cancer has already spread in your body. But pain may be an early symptom of bone cancer or testicular cancer. Back pain is common in people with colon, rectal, pancreatic, or ovarian cancer. Those with brain tumors often complain of a headache that doesn’t go away. * Bowel or bladder function changes Constipation, diarrhea, and other bowel issues may be a sign of colon cancer. People with bladder and prostate cancer may report pain during urination, blood in the urine, or other bladder-function changes. * Cough or hoarseness A cough that doesn’t go away or a hoarse voice may be a sign of lung cancer, cancer of the larynx, or thyroid cancer. (1,2) Indigestion Indigestion or problems swallowing can be a sign of stomach, esophageal, or throat cancer. (1,2) * Bleeding Unusual bleeding is associated with many different cancers. Coughing up blood may signal lung cancer. Bloody stools could be a sign of colon or rectal cancer. * Women with cervical or endometrial cancer may experience abnormal vaginal bleeding. Blood in the urine could mean you have bladder or kidney cancer. Bloody discharge from a woman’s nipple might indicate breast cancer. (1,2) * Changes in your mouth White patches inside your mouth or on your tongue could be precancers that can turn into oral cancer. Sores, bleeding, or numbness in the mouth may also be a sign of certain cancers. * Swollen lymph nodes Sometimes, enlarged lymph nodes can signal cancer. You should have your doctor check it out if your gland remains swollen for three to four weeks. Being out of breath Constantly feeling out of breath may be a sign of certain cancers. Most of the time, these symptoms aren’t caused by cancer. A benign tumor or other problems may be the culprit. But you shouldn’t ignore symptoms that are persistent, severe, or don’t go away. Why Noticing Cancer Symptoms Is Important Identifying symptoms can help you and your doctor detect your cancer earlier. This is important because the sooner cancer is found, the better your prognosis.
