Brief Answer:
Chemotherapy + Radiation + Surgery

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have gone through the reports you have provided.

Your brother has stage 4 rectal cancer.
The plan of management would be chemotherapy followed by radiation therapy followed by surgery.
He would require post operative chemotherapy as well.
The further line of treatment would be decided on the status after post operative chemotherapy.

Hope this helps
Do get back in case you have further queries
Regards
Dr Samir Patil
