Colon Cancer Treatment Centers
If you’ve been diagnosed with colon cancer, evaluating available colon cancer treatments can be overwhelming. Do you feel like you need more information to make a quality decision? At Cancer Treatment Centers of America we practice Patient Empowerment Medicine. That means our first job is to fully educate you on your diagnosis, and all the corresponding colon cancer treatment options. Then our colon cancer doctors will work together with you as a team to find the solutions best for your specific condition. You will be fully informed every step of the way, and play an active role in planning your recovery.
Because of the nature of colon cancer, it is likely that your treatment will include colon cancer surgery, radiation, chemotherapy or a combination of these treatments. Our colon cancer surgeons are trained in all the new colon cancer treatment options, so the medical care you receive will be the finest available. But our goal isn’t just to beat cancer, it’s to maintain and restore your quality of life throughout the process. Because of this, we offer Oncology Rehabilitation to support you throughout treatment, and afterward. This program includes a wide variety of support services including physical therapy, pain management, acupuncture (or auriculotherapy if you don’t like needles), counseling services, personalized exercise programs and nutritional therapy to name a few. The objective isn’t just to beat the disease, it’s to treat you as a whole person, and help you get your life back. You and your multidisciplinary team can decide which services will serve you best.
Another aspect of our patient centered approach to medicine, is that you will be allowed to stay in the comfort of one room, while the various colon cancer doctors come to you. In other colon cancer centers it is common for a patient to have to travel extensively from one end of the center to another, making visits to all the different specialists. We recognized that this was an exhausting ordeal, and created a system that better serves you.
Ultimately, it’s our patients who reflect the quality of our care. According to our satisfaction survey in 2010, 95% of our patients would recommend our treatment center to a friend or loved one.
