What Are Your Colorectal Cancer Treatment Options at CTCA?

Integrative Colorectal Cancer Treatment

At Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA), we believe in treating the whole person, not just the disease.

Our compassionate care team understands that colorectal cancer doesn’t just affect a part of your body; it affects all of you and everything in your life. Therefore, we use an integrative approach designed to fight colorectal cancer on all fronts. By blending conventional colorectal cancer treatments with nurturing complementary and alternative medicine therapies, we are able to treat each patient as a whole—body, mind and spirit.

We also understand that no two patients are exactly the same, so your colorectal cancer treatment should be tailored to you. Your care team at CTCA will work with you to understand your unique needs and develop a customized care plan.

Developing an individualized plan for your colorectal cancer treatment means taking several factors into consideration, such as the type and stage of your colorectal cancer, results from your diagnostic tests, and your personal needs and preferences.

The foundation of colorectal cancer treatment at CTCA centers on three conventional treatment options: surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. These conventional treatments for colorectal cancer have been tested by scientists and doctors for years and have successfully treated millions of patients.

We also provide various complementary therapies as part of your colorectal cancer treatment, including nutritional support, naturopathic medicine, oncology rehabilitation, mind-body counseling, spiritual support, and more. Our complementary and alternative medicines are designed to help reduce treatment-related side effects, improve quality of life, and support you throughout your colorectal cancer treatment and beyond. Taking into account your unique needs and preferences, your CTCA cancer doctors and practitioners will help select which complementary therapies are best for you.

Furthermore, at CTCA, you will receive all of these integrative colorectal cancer therapies in one location. This proximity of clinicians and patients creates a warm, nurturing environment of collaboration and support.
