Brief Answer:
Seems stage III colorectal cancer

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

There is a growth in-junction of rectum and colon which appears malignant. A biopsy is required for confirmation.

If this is confirmed to be cancer then the stage is likely at least III because of probable lymph node involved.

PET CT is needed to rule out stage IV disease.

If confirmed stage III is prognosis is moderate. 5 yr survival approx 60%, with treatment.

Regards
