Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States, but thankfully, stages 0, I, II and III are often curable with surgery. Since surgical interventions play a vital role in the treatment of colon cancer, engaging in pre- and post-operative care is crucial for these patients, as it helps optimize surgical outcomes.

In this episode of Making the Rounds, we begin a special podcast series discussing the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of pancreatic and colon cancers. Listen as Dr. Michael Choti discusses enhanced recovery after surgery and evidence-based programs to improve outcomes in patients with colon cancer. 

Dr.Michael Choti is a gastrointestinal surgical oncologist and the division chief of surgical oncology at Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center, specializing in the treatment of hepatobiliary and pancreatic cancers.
