USC Colorectal Surgery

Congratulations Carey Wickham, MD, on your resident research competition. You did an amazing job!! (SGS Berne Symposium: March 15, 2019)

WOW!! What a powerful compliment we received yesterday from a grateful patient. Our mission is to provide compassionate and excellent clinical care to all our patients. Thank you Dr. Sang Lee and team for providing the highest quality of care for our patients. Your hard work goes a long way!

We value and appreciate the amazing comments we receive from our patients and their families. Thank you Dr. Cologne for being an exceptional surgeon and for your excellent patient care!!

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. Colorectal cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. The general population faces a lifetime risk for developing the disease of about 5 percent, while someone whose family has a history of colorectal cancer has a 10 to 15 percent chance of developing the disease. The risk rises to more than 50 percent in people with ulcerative colitis and those whose family members harbor specific genetic mutations. Surpassing both breast cancer and prostate cancer in mortality, colorectal cancer is second only to lung cancer in numbers of deaths in the United States. Get more facts about #colorectalcancer:
