Colon Cancer Surgery
Advanced Surgical Treatment for Colon Cancer
Colon cancer develops in the large intestine (colon) and is one of the most common gastrointestinal cancers. It often begins as small polyps that gradually grow and may become cancerous over time. Early detection and timely surgical treatment significantly improve outcomes. Surgical removal of the tumor remains the primary and most effective treatment for localized and many advanced cases.
Dr. Dhaval Patel provides comprehensive evaluation and advanced surgical management for colon cancer, focusing on precise tumor removal, oncologic safety, and multidisciplinary cancer care.
