Why Choose Us
Comprehensive colorectal cancer screening & treatment
At the Weill Cornell Medicine Meyer Cancer Center at NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, our approach to colorectal cancer care goes beyond simply treating cancer. We strive to maintain your quality of life and speed your recovery while aiming to achieve our ultimate goal: curing your cancer. Our colorectal cancer specialists treat people with all stages of colorectal cancer. We offer the full spectrum of care, from diagnosis through treatment and survival.
Colorectal cancer is the third most common type of cancer in the United States — and also one of the most preventable. This is why early detection is so important. At the Meyer Cancer Center, we offer colonoscopy and other screening tests to find colorectal cancers early, when they are most curable, and to remove potential precancerous colon polyps. We also offer genetic counseling and testing for people with an increased risk of colorectal cancer due to their personal or family medical history.
Our team also participates in clinical trials evaluating novel treatments to advance the care of people with colorectal cancer, especially those whose disease does not respond well to standard therapies. You may have the opportunity to participate in a clinical trial of a promising treatment.
