Colorectal Cancer and Surgery

Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States. While it is the second leading cause of all cancer-related deaths, the good news is that regular screenings can detect colorectal cancer in its earlier, more treatable stages. Unfortunately, because the symptoms of the disease usually do not appear until it is advanced and more difficult to treat, the number of colorectal cancer cases and deaths remains high.

Whether you or a loved one has been diagnosed with cancer or are just exploring screening options—the key is to seek care from professionals who are experts in the diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer. Their experience can make a significant difference in outcomes. As the leading provider of colorectal procedures in Washington, D.C., Washington Hospital Center physicians and surgeons have that experience.

Equally important as the health care providers is the institution where that care will be administered. Washington Hospital Center is a renowned medical center that provides patients access to the most advanced medical technology—all in one convenient location. Washington Cancer Institute at the Hospital Center offers patients a comprehensive range of services, all in an environment that is geared towards maximizing patient comfort and well-being.
