3rd Annual Controversies in Colon and Rectal Cancer Treatment
Rectal cancer is a relatively common malignancy that requires a specialized multidisciplinary approach. Optimal outcomes are dependent on accurate and early diagnosis and staging, understanding of the genetic and molecular basis of rectal cancer, and use of effective surgical therapy. This clinically-oriented activity is structured to further educate physicians treating patients with rectal cancer about novel advances in the genetics, early diagnosis, surgical treatment, and multidisciplinary therapies of rectal cancer.
