Has anyone here heard....

Of squamash cell carcinoma of the RECTUM? I usually post on the anal cancer site as my tumor was staged and treated as anal cancer...just read clinical notes and realized it was squamash cell of the rectum......must not have been listening close enough at first consultation... It is very rare and I was just wondering if anyone else has heard of such....

Hi
I believe you are referring to "squamous cell". This was my diagnosis.

Here is a site which gives brief discussion of it:
