German term or phrase: mit Beteiligung des Magen-Darm-Dickdarmbereiches
"Bei mir wurde ein Rektum-Karzinom mit Beteiligung des Magen-Darm-Dickdarmbereiches im Anfangsstadium diagnostiziert."

A person is talking about how a certain medical product helped him. I can work out that he was diagnosed with a rectal carcinoma, but am having huge difficulties with "mit Beteiligung des Magen-Darm-Dickdarmbereiches". TIA for your assistance.

gastrointestinal and colon involvement
Explanation:
I would probably translate the entire sentence as follows:

I was diagnosed with rectal cancer with gastrointestinal and colon involvement in the initial stages.

This is in response to Merry's entry above:
You are right, the GI tract covers the entire passage from mouth to anus. The German sentence is not very accurate either since rectal cancer already involves the colon, or large intestine.
Also, how can the cancer be in the initial stage if it already involves the GI tract including both the small and large intestine?
I now interpret the German sentence to mean that the rectal cancer ( the rectum is located in the last few inches of the colon), involves a larger part of the colon, i.e. "mit Beteiligung des Dickdarmbereiches im Magen-Darm-Trakt". Does this sound plausible at all?

The English translation would therefore be:
"with involvement of the colon (large bowel) as part of the gastrointestinal tract"

Hmm, still feeling pretty confused about this, but I went with "with involvement of the colon as part of the gastrointestinal tract in the initial stage". Hopefully that'll work. Thanks everyone for your efforts. Appreciate your assistance.
