About Colorectal Cancer Study & Trials

Colorectal cancer is the second most common cancer diagnosed in the United States, affecting millions of people annually. It arises in the colon or rectum, often starting as polyps that can develop into cancerous tumors. Symptoms may include rectal bleeding, blood in stool, persistent abdominal pain, and changes in bowel habits.

At Hightower, we do clinical trials for colorectal cancer, investigating promising new medications, targeted therapies, and minimally invasive surgical techniques. These trials offer patients access to innovative treatments that might not yet be widely available.
