Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer, also known as bowel cancer, colon cancer, or rectal cancer, is any cancer that affects the colon and the rectum. It is the second leading cause of cancer death in women and the third for men so it goes without saying that early diagnosis (which is proven to increase treatment efficacy) is imperative. From regular screenings to innovative treatment options, we are ready to provide comprehensive and compassionate care.
Colorectal Cancer Q & A
Colorectal cancer is a cancer that develops in the inner lining of your rectum or colon, then slowly spreads to the outer layers.
The first symptoms of colorectal cancer may include:
- Changes in bowel regularity
- Constipation and/or diarrhea
- Rectal bleeding
- Abdominal bloating
- Abdominal cramping
- Feeling like you can’t completely empty your bowels
- Thinner than normal stools
If cancer is confirmed, we can determine the best course of treatment based on multiple factors, including your age, symptoms, and stage of cancer. If possible, minimally invasive procedures are the optimal choice to preserve bladder, bowel, and sexual function.
