Colorectal Cancer Program

The JHAH Colorectal Cancer Program combines the extensive laboratory and clinical expertise of Johns Hopkins Medicine with a multidisciplinary team approach. Our goals are to make colorectal cancer that is discovered in advanced stages a chronic illness, colorectal cancer discovered in early stages a curable illness, and for the majority of people, to make colorectal cancer wholly preventable through screening.

What Makes Our Program Different

Our colorectal cancer team includes surgical oncologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, gastroenterologists, radiologists, pathologists, nurse navigators, and support specialists who meet regularly for multidisciplinary tumor board conferences. Every patient's case is reviewed by the entire team to ensure comprehensive evaluation and optimal treatment planning.
