Colorectal cancers are highly preventable with regular screenings. If it does become cancerous, GBMC is here to help.

The expert clinicians on the GI Oncology Team at GBMC treat patients with respect and compassion throughout the surgical process. Using innovative surgical techniques and interventions to manage pain, they can improve patient safety, enhance quality of care, and reduce complications and length of stay.

"Our experts offer fully integrated treatment plans for patients with complex colon and rectal conditions," Joseph DiRocco, MD, MBA, FACS, Director of Gastrointestinal Oncology for the Sandra & Malcolm Berman Cancer Institute at GBMC, said. "If you do need surgery, we can get you back to doing what you love quickly and successfully."

"I was grateful I got screened early and could benefit from interventions. Dr. DiRocco and the team made me feel like the treatment plan was designed just for me," Lenny Brossoit, one of Dr. DiRocco's patients, said.

We're more than just healthcare providers. We're your team. At GBMC, we face cancer, together.
