Partnering in cancer care
UW Health colon and rectal surgeons partner with cancer experts at the UW Carbone Cancer Center. Working together, we ensure you get the best care from diagnosis through surgery and recovery.
If your colon doesn’t work correctly, you may find it hard to eliminate waste (stool). You can also feel bloating, gas or pain.
