Colon Cancer
Colon Cancer Services at Colorectal Surgical Associates of Nevada
At Colorectal Surgical Associates of Nevada, we specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of colon cancer, offering comprehensive care to help our patients achieve the best possible outcomes. As one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths, early detection and treatment are crucial in improving survival rates and quality of life.
Understanding Colon Cancer
Colon cancer originates in the large intestine, often starting as small, non-cancerous polyps. Over time, these polyps can become malignant. Regular screening is essential in identifying these polyps early, allowing for removal before they turn into cancer.
Our Expertise in Colon Cancer Care
Our team of highly trained colorectal surgeons and specialists are dedicated to providing state-of-the-art care using the latest techniques in minimally invasive surgery, traditional surgery, and non-surgical treatments. We work closely with oncologists, gastroenterologists, and other healthcare professionals to offer personalized care tailored to each patient’s needs.
Screening and Diagnosis
We encourage regular colon cancer screeningfor individuals over the age of 45, or earlier if there is a family history of colorectal cancer. Our screening options include:
- Colonoscopy: A gold standard for detecting polyps and cancer.
- Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT): A non-invasive test that checks for hidden blood in stool samples.
- Flexible Sigmoidoscopy: A procedure to examine the rectum and lower colon for abnormalities.
Early detection through these methods can significantly improve treatment outcomes and survival rates.
Advanced Treatment Options
Our clinic offers cutting-edge treatments for colon cancer, including:
- Minimally Invasive Surgery (Laparoscopic & Robotic Surgery): Smaller incisions, less pain, and quicker recovery times.
- Traditional Surgical Resection: Removal of the affected portion of the colon.
- Chemotherapy & Radiation Therapy Coordination: We work closely with oncology specialists to develop a comprehensive treatment plan.
- Post-Treatment Care: Continuous monitoring and follow-up care to ensure long-term health and wellness.
