Colorectal Cancer ( Colon Cancer ) Treatment in Apollo Multispecialty Hospitals : Cost & Doctors

The ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, and rectum, which terminates in the anal canal, are the several sections that make up the large intestine. The large intestine ends with the colon and rectum and its primary job is to aid in digesting by turning liquid stools into solid feces in addition to performing other critical tasks like reabsorption. When there is an abnormal cell growth or mass of cells in the organ, it is called colorectal cancer. These malignancies behave differently than other cancers and react uniquely to various cancer treatments, especially if they start in the rectum.

Different treatment modalities (surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, or others) are used by the doctors at Apollo Multispeciality Hospital in various combinations, either concurrently or sequentially, depending on the stage of the disease and the unique patient factors. The surgical, medical, and radiation oncologists consult with diagnostic professionals (radiologists, pathologists, molecular biologists, and nuclear medicine specialists) and then come up with an appropriate treatment plan for the patient's colorectal cancer. The team of oncologists at Apollo Gleneagles Hospital uses this Multi-disciplinary team approach to ensure that the patient's treatment is following the best practices in the world, is evidence-based, but most importantly, is tailored to each patient and his condition. Furthermore, the Multi-Disciplinary team at Apollo Hospital continuously monitors the response to treatment and often helps in the effective management of cancer in the recovery phase.
