Dr. Chintamani Godbole is a specialist in treating Colon Cancer Treatment in Mumbai. Surgery for Colon or Rectal cancer involves removal or resection of that segment of the bowel with a margin of surrounding healthy intestine.
We also have to remove all the lymph nodes draining that segment of the bowel as these lymph nodes often lodge cancer cells. The ends of the bowel are then joined together by sutures or staples.
