What is Colorectal Cancer?
Malignant cells invading the tissues of the colon or rectum cause colon and rectal cancers. Colon cancer is commonly found in the 5-foot-long colon that forms a part of the digestive system. Meanwhile, rectal cancer can develop in the remaining 6 to 8 inches of the large intestine, including the rectum and anal canal.
At Wilmot Cancer Institute, we have a robust and distinguished program focused on colorectal cancer.

Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC)
Wilmot Cancer Institute offers specialized treatment that combines surgery with heated chemotherapy delivered directly to your abdomen. Heated chemotherapy helps destroy cancer cells that cannot be seen or removed during surgery. Because the medication is delivered locally, not through the bloodstream, higher doses can be used with fewer whole-body side effects.
