March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, an initiative of the WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer. This year, we prepared a series of short videos where specialists from the Champalimaud Foundation’s Digestive Unit talk about different aspects of the unit’s work.
Surgery continues to be central in colorectal cancer treatment.
In this short video, surgeon Pedro Vieira describes the state-of-art practice of colorectal surgery at the Champalimaud Foundation, with a particular emphasis on robotic surgery, the gold standard in rectal surgery, and minimally invasive surgery, which Digestive Unit surgeons favour whenever possible.
