Understanding Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer develops in the colon or rectum and is among the most common cancers in India. Early detection and expert surgical treatment are crucial for successful outcomes. Robotic surgery represents the gold standard for colorectal cancer treatment, offering precision and minimal invasiveness that traditional surgery cannot match.
Types of Colorectal Cancer Requiring Surgery
- Colon Cancer: Tumors in any part of the large intestine
- Rectal Cancer: Tumors in the last 15cm of the large intestine
- Sigmoid Colon Cancer: Cancer in the S-shaped section of colon
- Right-sided Colon Cancer: Cecum, ascending colon, hepatic flexure
- Left-sided Colon Cancer: Descending colon, splenic flexure
Early Detection Saves Lives
If you're experiencing persistent bowel changes, rectal bleeding, or abdominal pain, don't delay consultation.
