Colorectal Surgical Oncology

Colorectal Surgical Oncology is a specialized field of medicine focused on diagnosing and treating cancers that affect the colon and rectum. Surgeons in this area perform operations to remove tumors and surrounding tissues, often aiming to eliminate cancer while preserving as much healthy function as possible. They work closely with oncologists and other healthcare professionals to develop personalized treatment plans, which may include surgery, chemotherapy, and follow-up care. The goal is to improve patient outcomes and quality of life for individuals diagnosed with colorectal cancer.
