Colon cancer is more common than rectal cancer.

Rectal cancer is more difficult to treat than colon cancer, mainly because of its low location, difficult operation, easy local invasion and metastasis, sensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and relatively complicated treatment methods.

Rectal cancer is more difficult to treat than colon cancer. The main reasons are as follows:

Rectal cancer is lower in location, more difficult to remove surgically, especially for low rectal cancer. Surgery requires more delicate operation and higher skills, otherwise it is easy to lead to anal incontinence and other complications

.

Rectal cancer is more sensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and radiotherapy and chemotherapy can be used as adjuvant treatment for rectal cancer to improve

the cure rate. In

short, rectal cancer is more difficult to treat than colon cancer, but the specific situation needs to be determined according to the patient's condition and physical condition.
