Diagnostic options

Before beginning treatment, the medical team performs a series of tests to confirm the stage of the cancer. Patients can start with a remote evaluation to discuss their medical history and symptoms.

• Online consultation with surgeon. This initial talk costs around $200 and helps plan the next steps.
• Colonoscopy and biopsy. Doctors examine the colon and take tissue samples for laboratory analysis.
• CT and MRI scans. These imaging tests show the exact size and location of the tumor.
• Tumor marker analysis. Blood tests check for CEA levels to monitor the cancer.
• Fecal occult blood test. This screening detects hidden blood in the stool.

Surgical and therapy methods

The clinic focuses on minimally invasive surgery to treat sigmoid adenocarcinoma. These techniques help reduce pain and allow patients to return to their daily activities sooner. Procedures take place at HLA Moncloa, which is recognized as one of the Newsweek World's Best Smart Hospitals 2023.

• Colectomy. This large bowel resection typically costs around $10,700. Surgeons use the Da Vinci X, Xi, or 5 robotic systems for millimetric precision. The surgery requires 3–5 days in the hospital, and full recovery takes about 3–4 weeks.
• HIPEC. Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy treats advanced cases where the cancer has spread to the abdominal lining. This method combines surgery with heated chemotherapy applied directly inside the abdomen.
• Laparoscopic resection. This is a minimally invasive alternative to open surgery that uses small incisions.
