Discussing cancer with experts in the field in order to educate patients, families, and the general public. One of the most common complaints we hear from our patients when we first meet them to discuss their cancer diagnosis and treatment plan is that there is a lack of reliable, available information about cancer. Evaluating what is or isn’t a credible source of information on the internet is challenging, even for the most experienced of Googlers. We are seeking to fill that gap by providing the public with understandable, reliable information about cancer. Join us as we talk to healthcare experts at Ochsner about what you need to know should you or a loved one receive a cancer diagnosis.

In this episode of the All In Against Cancer podcast powered by the Ochsner Cancer Institute, host Dr. Jonathan Mizrahi talks with Ochsner radiation oncologist, Dr. Jeff Burkeen, and Ochsner colorectal surgeon, Dr. Forrest Johnston, about colorectal cancer.
Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers in the United States. While improvements in screening and early detection have been made, this disease still accounts for over 50,000 deaths in this country per year. Advances in systemic, radiation and surgical therapies have improved outcomes for patients with colorectal cancer, and increasingly, oncologists are able to tailor treatments to target individual tumor vulnerabilities.
Tune in to hear more about the approach to diagnosis, staging, treatment, prevention, and screening for colorectal cancer.
