What are colorectal tumors?
Colorectal tumors include cancers affecting the colon and rectum. Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide and the second leading cause of cancer death.
Most colorectal cancers develop from adenomatous polyps through a well-established sequence over several years. This characteristic makes screening programs particularly effective in preventing this cancer.
Surgery is the main treatment for localized colorectal cancer. With proper treatment, survival rates are very high in early stages.
Colorectal pathologies we treat
Our unit addresses the main oncological pathologies of the colon and rectum.
Rectal Cancer
Tumors located in the last 15 cm of the large intestine, with specific surgical considerations.
Locally Advanced Tumors
Complex cases requiring multivisceral resections or neoadjuvant treatment.
Peritoneal Carcinomatosis
Peritoneal spread treatable with cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC in selected cases.
Why request a second opinion for colorectal cancer?
Requesting a second opinion can provide security and clarity about the best approach.
Confirm surgical strategy
Confirm whether the proposed surgery is the most appropriate for your case.
Evaluate sphincter preservation
Evaluate whether sphincter-sparing surgery is possible in rectal cancer.
Assess laparoscopic approach
Assess whether the surgery can be performed minimally invasively.
Consider advanced options
Consider options like HIPEC for peritoneal carcinomatosis or liver metastases.
A second opinion can confirm or reframe the initial strategy, always for the patient's benefit.
