Colon And Rectal Surgery

Although constipation affects millions of people worldwide, it remains one of the least discussed health concerns due to social stigma, according to a press release from the International Foundation for Gastrointestinal Disorders.

Though clinical guidelines specify that oncologists should talk with patients about the risks for treatment-induced infertility, many patients with colon and rectal cancer report they did not receive or do not remember receiving information from their health care providers, according to a presentation at ASCO21 Annual Meeting.
