Minimally invasive cancer treatment

Colon cancer may be curable when detected early

We offer advanced minimally invasive technology with excellent cancer outcomes, safety, fewer complications and fast recovery: robotic surgery, transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) and laparoscopy.

Learn about TAMIS

When to seek immediate medical attention

Seek prompt care for severe abdominal pain with distension, persistent vomiting or difficulty passing gas or stool

These symptoms may require urgent attention. Do not wait for an administrative WhatsApp reply if symptoms are severe or rapidly worsening.

Signs worth reviewing

Bowel changes or bleeding do not confirm cancer but warrant evaluation

Blood in stool, persistent bowel changes, abdominal pain or discomfort, unexplained weight loss or fatigue also occur in conditions other than cancer. Assessment identifies what information needs review.

Some people have no clear early symptoms. An abnormal result, family history or report needing explanation also warrants consultation.

Specialist assessment

Consultation organizes information before choosing a care pathway

Dr. Eduardo Navarro reviews available tests and reports to explain what is known and what remains to be resolved.

What determines the treatment plan

Care is organized around diagnosis, findings and individual needs

Treatment may combine surgery and other options. The sequence is coordinated with the relevant specialties.

Diagnosis and extent

The plan begins with confirmed findings

Location and extent help define which alternatives are worth discussing.

General health

Overall health is part of the decision

General health, medical history and previous treatment are considered before proposing a plan.

Informed goals

Decisions are discussed with the patient and care team

Assessment explains options, their goals and questions needing answers before proceeding.

Preparing for assessment

Existing information helps make the most of consultation

Do not obtain new tests yourself. Existing reports or summaries help organize discussion.

Reports

Test, pathology or previous procedure reports

Bring them if available so the doctor can review existing information without repeating previous work.

Treatments

Current treatment or medication information

This provides care context and helps prepare questions for consultation.

Support

A companion if useful for remembering information

You may bring someone if preferred. The person with the diagnosis remains central to decisions.
