AB  - A  72-year-old  man  reports  rectal  bleeding  with  bowel  movements  over  the  past  several  months  and  the  stool  seems  narrower  with  occasional  diarrhea.  He  has  a  history  of  hemorrhoids  but  at  this  time  is  not  experiencing  rectal  irritation  or  itching,  as  with  previous  episodes.  His  medical  history  is  significant  for  controlled  hypertension  and  a  remote  history  of  smoking.  On  digital  rectal  examination,  his  stool  sample  tests  positive  for  blood  but  anoscopy  fails  to  identify  the  source  of  bleeding.  On  colonoscopy,  a  mass  is  seen  at  30  cm  (Figure  64-1).  A  biopsy  was  obtained  and  pathology  confirmed  adenocarcinoma.
