Colon Cancer Treatment in Los Angeles
Expert colon cancer care with Dr. Moshe Barnajian — advanced robotic surgery, early detection, and a coordinated plan focused on cure.
Leading-Edge Colon Cancer Treatment
Colon cancer is one of the most preventable and treatable cancers when managed by an experienced specialist. Dr. Barnajian offers advanced, minimally invasive treatment paired with meticulous, coordinated care that gives patients the best chance at a full recovery.
Because colon cancer often begins silently as a polyp, screening and timely surgery are powerful tools. Dr. Barnajian and his Los Angeles team support you at every step, from diagnosis and staging through surgery and survivorship.
Trained at Cedars-Sinai, Dr. Barnajian is skilled in robotic colon cancer surgery and coordinates seamlessly with oncology.
Understanding Colon Cancer
Colon cancer develops in the large intestine, usually from polyps that grow over time, and accurate staging guides the most effective treatment.
Precancerous Polyps
Removed during colonoscopy before they can turn into cancer, which is why screening is so valuable.
Early-Stage
Localized tumors are often cured with minimally invasive surgery alone and an excellent prognosis.
Advanced Disease
More advanced tumors are treated with surgery combined with chemotherapy, coordinated for the best outcome.
Symptoms and Risk Factors
Warning signs include changes in bowel habits, blood in the stool, abdominal cramping, unexplained fatigue or anemia, and unintended weight loss. Early colon cancer often has no symptoms at all, which is why screening is essential.
Risk factors include age over 45, a family or personal history of colorectal cancer or polyps, inflammatory bowel disease, and inherited syndromes. A screening colonoscopy is the single most effective way to prevent the disease or catch it early.
