Colorectal Cancer

Our colorectal cancer surgeons treat a high volume of patients and have exceptional expertise performing the full range of surgical techniques. Whenever possible, they use minimally invasive approaches, including robotic-assisted surgery, to remove colorectal tumors—resulting in smaller incisions, less discomfort after surgery, and a speedier return to your normal activities. Our surgeons are equally skilled at performing open surgical procedures as well as reconstruction of the large intestine to prevent the need for a permanent ostomy (an external bag to collect wastes) whenever feasible.

Our colorectal cancer team includes gastrointestinal oncologists and surgeons, radiation oncologists, pathologists, interventional radiologists, gastroenterologists, and oncology nurses. For more than a decade, our specialists have met at a regular Tumor Board to discuss each case, combining their expertise to provide coordinated, personalized care for each of our patients, tailored to the stage and biology of their disease. Because colorectal cancer can affect quality of life, your team also includes nutritionists, social workers, palliative care providers, and others to help meet your personal needs.
