Overview

Cleveland Clinic is a trusted healthcare leader, recognized in the U.S. and throughout the world for its expertise and care.

Our program unites all of the specialists you need in one convenient spot, so you get the care you need right away — without waiting for separate appointments with multiple doctors in various locations. The team works together to explore the best medical and surgical options to ensure the most successful outcome for each patient.

To earn this voluntary accreditation, Cleveland Clinic’s rectal cancer program met 19 standards, including the presence of a rectal cancer multidisciplinary team that includes clinical representatives from surgery, pathology, radiology, radiation oncology, and medical oncology.
