Successful management of rectal cancer entails adequate assessment of patient related risk factors (co-morbid conditions, body habitus, anal sphincter function) and tumor characteristics (level, stage, and histo-morphologic features), and adequate knowledge of available diagnostic and therapeutic modalities. This report provides an update on sonographic assessment, operative management, neo-adjuvant therapy, and follow up of resectable potentially curable rectal cancer.
