Colon cancer treatments include surgery and chemotherapy. Radiation may be used for more advanced cancers. Innovative therapies also are being developed to give patients with advanced-stage disease more options. This includes tumor debulking, or cytoreductive surgery (CRS), with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). First, surgeons remove any visible tumor or cancer, then a heated chemotherapy solution is circulated in the abdominal cavity to treat any remaining cancer cells.

Rectal cancer treatments include chemotherapy, surgery and radiation, often provided in combination. Our specialists use the latest surgical techniques and treatment protocols.

This allows patients to receive their care at locations within the greater Washington region.
