Colorectal Cancer

Colorectal cancer (also called colon cancer or rectal cancer) is the third most common cancer worldwide and the fourth most common in India. It typically presents in people above the age of 40, though incidence is rising in younger populations due to dietary and lifestyle changes.

At Anand Cancer Hospital in Surat, Dr. Jayesh R. Shah has been performing minimally invasive colon and rectal cancer surgeries since 2006. Our team specialises in laparoscopic anterior resection, hemicolectomy, and colo-rectal stapled anastomosis — procedures that offer less postoperative pain, faster recovery, smaller incisions, reduced hospital stay, and better visibility of pelvic structures compared to traditional open surgery.
