This is a procedure to destroy a tumor in the rectum by applying heat, laser, freezing, or a similar method through the anus, without making an external incision. Rather than cutting the tumor out as an intact piece of tissue, the abnormal tissue is eliminated in place. It is generally used for select rectal growths where this approach is appropriate for the tumor's size, location, and characteristics.
