Leading gastrointestinal cancer surgeon discusses rectal cancer and colon cancer tumor resection. Surgeon is the most important “prognostic factor” in cancer treatment. Correct surgical operation makes the largest impact on long-term survival of patients with colon cancer or rectal cancer.

Colon cancer surgery options. Dr. Martin Schilling, MD. Best treatment method. Dr. Anton Titov, MD. Colon cancer and rectal cancer best surgical treatment method. Colon cancer treatment must follow mesocolic anatomical planes. Total Mesorectal Excision (TME) has been developed for rectal cancer treatment. Best surgery method for colon cancer treatment to prevent metastases and local recurrence. Total Mesocolic Excision reduces local recurrence for colon cancer from 30% to 5%. Surgeon is the most important prognostic factor in colon cancer treatment. Dr. Martin Schilling, MD. Medical second opinion clarifies stage 3 colorectal cancer diagnosis. Medical second opinion helps to decide if surgery is possible in stage 3 colon cancer. Best treatment for advanced stage 3 colon cancer. Dr. Anton Titov, MD. Medical second opinion from leading expert helps to find the best treatment for stage 3 colorectal cancer with liver metastases. Dr. Martin Schilling, MD. Get medical second opinion on advanced colorectal cancer and be confident that your treatment is the best. Best colorectal cancer treatment center. Video interview with leading surgeon in gastrointestinal cancer treatment surgery. What is the best colon cancer and rectal cancer surgical treatment method today? Why is it important for surgeon to know the best surgery technique for colorectal cancer treatment?
Surgeon is the most important “prognostic factor” in cancer treatment. Correct surgical operation makes the largest impact on long-term survival of patients with colon cancer or rectal cancer. Colon cancer surgery options. Best treatment method. Dr. Anton Titov, MD. Rectal cancer treatment for a long time included APR, Abdominal Perineal Resection. But the best standards for rectal cancer surgery changed. Dr. Anton Titov, MD. You have a very large experience with the the nerve-sparing method of rectal cancer treatment, Total Mesorectal Excision (TME). Could you please talk about Total Mesorectal Excision (TME) method of rectal cancer treatment. Dr. Anton Titov, MD. How beneficial is TME for rectal cancer surgical treatment? Dr. Martin Schilling, MD. Esophageal cancer, Gastric cancer, Pancreatic cancer, Liver cancer and Colon cancer surgeon, Switzerland. Description of the mesorectal planes, the shealths covering the rectum, has been described by Dr. W.E. Miles over a hundred years ago (in 1908). Then concept of mesorectal surgical planes was applied to rectal dissection by German surgeon working in Bonn. Then it was rediscovered by Dr. R.J. Heald from the UK. Dr. Heald applied mesorectal planes concept to rectal cancer surgery around the world. Dr. Heald also made this total mesorectal excision technique to treat rectal cancer popular in the United States. TME technique include resection of all tissues surrounding the rectum, including lymph nodes and small lymphatic vessels. Total mesorectal excision treatment for rectal cancer preserves all vital pelvic nerves going down to the pelvic organs. Dr. Martin Schilling, MD. Total mesorectal excision technique was used in rectal cancer surgery. Then the local recurrence rate after 5 years for rectal cancer decreased from 30% to 5% or 7%. Dr. Martin Schilling, MD. Esophageal cancer, Gastric cancer, Pancreatic cancer, Liver cancer and Colon cancer surgeon, Switzerland. Following anatomical planes in TME surgery technique has had tremendous success in rectal cancer treatment. Since mid-1990s I have used similar technique in colon cancer treatment. We follow the same mesocolic anatomical planes along the colon. We dissect colon cancer tumor. Mesocolic anatomic planes are clearly described. They are similar to mesorectal anatomical planes. Using mesocolic excision in colon cancer surgery treatment is good. It has given us tremendous success in local control in colon cancer. Local recurrence rates for colon cancer has decreased dramatically. Dr. Anton Titov, MD. The surgeon's experience and knowledge of the best modern surgical techniques is important. It is a major prognostic factor in cancer treatment. Including colorectal cancer treatment. Dr. Martin Schilling, MD. Esophageal cancer, Gastric cancer, Pancreatic cancer, Liver cancer and Colon cancer surgeon, Switzerland. That's correct. That's the first and one of the most important steps in successful colorectal cancer treatment. The primary operation to remove colorectal cancer tumor is crucial for long term survival of patient. Dr. Martin Schilling, MD. It is crucial to define well the primary surgical strategy. Dr. Anton Titov, MD. Colon cancer surgery options - best treatment method explained by leading colorectal cancer surgeon from Switzerland. Total Mesorectal excision and Mesocolic Excision.
