Colorectal Cancer Board

Taipei Cancer Center is home to many of the leading physicians specializing in the treatment of colorectal cancer. These include surgeons, medical oncologists, and radiation oncologists.

At many hospitals, doctors treat several different types of cancer. At the Taipei Cancer Center, doctors focus on specific types of cancer, working together in multidisciplinary teams to create coordinated treatment plans personalized to each patient.

Care starts with precise and accurate diagnostics that allow us to identify and stage the specific type and subtype of each patient’s cancer. This lets care teams pinpoint the most effective therapies for each patient. Treatment plans may incorporate radiation therapy, including proton therapy; and cancer drugs such as chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy.

Surgery is also a key part of colorectal cancer care. The colorectal surgeons of Taipei cancer center perform many operations every year, and routinely use minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery. Minimally invasive treatment modalities range from extremely minimally invasive colonoscopic submucosal tumor resection for early colorectal mucinous lesions to more precise Da Vinci robotic surgery for difficult areas such as low colorectal cancer, so that patients recover better and faster.

Along with this top-class treatment, genetic testing and counseling is also offered for people with a family history of cancer. This helps patients and their families understand their cancer risks designed to catch disease in its earliest stages and in some cases to guide the chemotherapeutic treatment.
