Warts
Medical Weight Loss
Rectal Cancer develops in parts of your large intestine or colon with symptoms that include bloody stools, weight loss, constant fatigue, and a change in your bowel movements. Although some Rectal Cancer is caused by genetic disorders, according to the Rectal Cancer Knoxville Center, most occur because of age and lifestyle changes. Some of those lifestyle changes include a sedentary lifestyle, weight gain, smoking, and diet. Those who indulge in too much alcohol and red meat may be more susceptible to Rectal Cancer. Other Rectal Cancer risk factors include ulcerative colitis and Crohnâ€™s Disease, both inflammatory bowel diseases.
Emergency Care
If you experience a life threatening emergercy, call 911 or immediately go to the nearest Emergency Department. Our office provides on-call service for urgent conditions, 24 hours-a-day, 7 days-a-week. Call (865) 392-9220 and leave a concise message with the time, date, and a return phone number. Our providers will return your call. Prescription refills, general nursing questions, billing questions and appointment changes/requests are not considered urgent conditions.
Colonoscopy
If you have had recent x-rays, lab tests, colonoscopy, or pathology that will impact your evaluation or treatment recommendations, please arrange to to collect these (will need actual x-ray films or computer disc) from the diagnostic center or hospital prior to your visit. This will ensure that our surgeons can give accurate and immediate recommendations.

Endoscopy

Ultrasound
Endoanal sonography relies on an image is created by a rotating piezoelectric crystal transducer probe which is placed into the anal canal. The crystal both sends and receives ultrasound (10 MHz) frequency waves, with different tissues (i.e. smooth muscle, fat, mucosa, bone) allowing different degrees of reflection and transmission according to their intrinsic acoustic density. A real time ultrasound image is generated based upon the reflected waves received by the rotating transducer probe.
MRI
In the past, preoperative radiotherapy was only offered at research institutions, since radiation oncology physicians were reluctant to give radiotherapy treatment prior to accurate staging, which generally required surgical resection and pathologic analysis. In addition, there was only weak scientific evidence that preoperative radiotherapy prolonged survival. The recent Swedish Rectal Cancer Trial (1997) demonstrates statistically significant reduction in local cancer failure rates and an improvement in overall survival by using high-dose preoperative radiotherapy. Our ability to accurately stage these rectal cancers prior to treatment has improved as well; imaging studies with endorectal ultrasound, CT, and MRI scans give excellent anatomic information about the depth of tumor penetration and lymph node involvement. Because of vastly improved functional results, improved tumor resectability, and diminished long term sequelae, we embrace the philosophy of preoperative radiotherapy for middle and low rectal cancers.
Chemotherapy
Treatments for Rectal Cancer include a combination of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, and targeted therapy. If you have been diagnosed with Rectal Cancer that is confined to the colon, the Rectal Cancer Knoxville Center may recommend surgery.
Radiation Therapy
Dr. Young has extensive experience diagnosing and treating Rectal Cancer, performing his own in-office Rectal Ultrasound examinations to stage the disease in these patients. He is a proponent of Neo-Adjuvant (or Pre-Operative) Chemo-Radiation Therapy for the down staging of locally advanced Rectal Cancer. He brought to Knoxville, and performed the first Colon J-Pouch Anal Anastamosis, for the restoration of bowel continuity following Low Rectal Cancer Resection in 1996. This unique procedure allows for near normal fecal control and storage, following Ultra Low Rectal Resection, eliminating the disabling â€œLow Anterior Syndromeâ€ , and greatly improving the quality of life for this patient population.
