Colon (Colorectal) Cancer
Multidisciplinary Clinic

There is hope, innovation and support available for those with colorectal (colon) cancers here at the U-M Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Patients in the Multidisciplinary Colorectal Cancer Clinic receive comprehensive therapy coordinated within a single clinic, resulting in the delivery of personalized clinical care. We also recognize that a person is more than their disease and provide support to patients and families through nursing, social work, nutrition services, spiritual counseling, and psychiatric services when needed.

Surgical and therapeutic options

Our team of surgeons include colorectal, liver and surgical oncologists offering curative-intent surgeries for patients with localized colorectal cancer as well as patients with more advanced metastatic disease. The surgeons are trained in both open and laparoscopic techniques.

You will also see medical oncologists that will create individualized systemic treatments to reduce the risk of disease recurrence, improve resectability or treat more advanced unresectable disease.

Radiation therapy is another treatment option available. The radiation oncologists offer novel approaches in their procedures, provide the latest in technology and knowledge so you are receive the best care possible comfortably.

These teams work seamlessly through your individualized treatment plan. We include you when opportunities arise for clinical trial opportunities which you could benefit from and to help further decrease colorectal mortality rates.
