Colorectal Cancer
Frequently Asked Questions
15. What types of surgery are available for
someone with colorectal cancer?
Several types of surgery are available for someone with colorectal
cancer. If the cancer is found at a very early stage, the doctor
may remove it without cutting through the abdominal wall. Instead,
the doctor may put a tube up the rectum into the colon and cut the
cancer out. This is called a local excision. (Answer
