Eighty percent of colon cancer surgeries performed at John Muir Health use a minimally invasive, laparoscopic technique, compared to the 30 percent national average for hospitals in the U.S.

Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in the United States. It is also one of the most preventable and curable when detected early. Our approach to treating colorectal cancer utilizes the latest research and standard of care to provide the best outcomes for our patients.
The difference? We listen.
While we are proud of our expertise and advanced technologies, we are equally proud of the way we partner with our patients. Our approach is to listen to you and work together on your treatment plan.
