Squamous cell carcinoma of the rectum is a rare type of cancer that affects the rectum, accounting for just 0.3% of all rectal cancers. It starts in the flat cells lining the inside of the rectum. On average, it develops around age 57, with women being more likely to get it than men.
Many sufferers of Squamous cell carcinoma of the rectum struggle because they feel that their disease doesn’t have the same level of awareness as more common cancers. Without a Ribbon is an Australian non-profit organisation that believes that rare cancers should never go unnoticed. We aim to provide a detailed set of resources and information for anyone suffering from cancers such as Squamous cell carcinoma of the rectum. We have recently created an Squamous cell carcinoma of the rectum resource page to help sufferers understand their disease. It covers the symptoms, available treatments and other important information.
We hope that this resource page will help you or a friend/family member to learn about their illness and aid them through their battle with the disease.
