Colorectal cancer is a malignancy that develops in the colon or the rectum.

A colorectal cancer treatment plan may include:
- Minimally invasive or robotic-assisted surgery to remove polyps, tumors or surrounding tissues
- Advanced radiation therapy methods, such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy and Novalis therapy, to destroy cancer cells using high-energy beams
- Chemotherapy, targeted drug therapy, chemoembolization or vaccine therapy to destroy or slow the growth of tumors
- Other breakthrough treatments made available to eligible patients through our robust clinical trial program
