Colon cancer care team

Our colon and rectal care team includes board-certified surgeons, specially trained nurses, registered dietitians and nurse navigators to help guide patients through treatment.

Because cancer is a complex disease, patients benefit from the collaboration of physicians and staff from many specialty areas, including:

  • Colon and rectal cancer screening
  • Nurse navigators
  • Referrals to the Legacy Cancer Healing Center, genetics counseling and other support services.
  • Clinical trials, tumor bank and other research studies
  • Regular patient care conferences: Learn more about these sessions
