MTP-M3 Colorectal Cancer

Although operative principles are essentially stable, the timing, approach and multidisciplinary care of colorectal cancer is a moving target. In this session, we will review principles and discuss translation of new data into clinical care. The discussion will be built around and in response to audience-presented complex colorectal cancer cases.

Objectives

At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:

  1. Affirm ongoing principles of colorectal cancer operative management through any approach
  2. Build and maintain a multidisciplinary team for care
  3. Respond to unexpected intra-operative findings
