For early-stage colon and rectal (colorectal) cancer, your doctors at OU
Health's nationally recognized Stephenson Cancer Center may recommend
surgery as the most successful treatment option.
Individualized Colorectal Cancer Treatment
At Stephenson Cancer Center, Oklahoma’s only NCI-Designated Cancer
Center, you’ll work with highly trained and experienced colon and
rectal surgical oncologists to develop a personalized treatment plan to
address your particular situation.
Colon & Rectal Cancer Surgery
Through an extensive evaluation process, you and your OU Health team may
choose from a variety of standard surgical techniques for your specific
circumstances or determine if you’re a good candidate for
minimally invasive or robotic-assisted surgery. These procedures require only a few small incisions, which reduces scarring
and the risk of infection while speeding recovery time. No matter which
procedure fits your needs, you can rely on receiving top-quality cancer
surgery care at Stephenson Cancer Center.
Follow-Up Treatment Options
Once colorectal cancer surgery removes the tumor, your Stephenson Center
team may recommend follow-up treatment options such as
chemotherapy / infusion or
radiation therapy to eliminate any lingering cancer cells.
Your expert colorectal cancer surgery team at Stephenson Cancer Center
is a team of highly experienced colorectal cancer experts. Our board-certified
surgeons specialize in robotic-assisted procedures, providing advanced
care for colon and rectal conditions. You’ll work with team members
who established the colon and rectal surgery specialty at OU Health and
