Hi everyone,
An elderly family member needs surgery for rectal regrowth. We're with Dana Farber/Brigham/MGH. Any surgeon recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Do you have information about the original rectal surgery for this family member? Pathology report from the original surgery?

Re: Rectal Surgeon Recommendation in Boston
Dana Farber/Brigham and Women's Hospital is renowned for its expertise in colorectal surgery. I think they are to be trusted with your case
55 year at the time of diagnosis, male
Diagnosed with T1,T2 N0 M0 rectal cancer
Total neoadjuvant therapy or TNT (chemoradiation followed by systemic chemotherapy)
Negative since Feb. '17
No surgery
Watch&Wait approach
I don’t come much to the forum , so if this is not updated it means I remain negative!
Wish good luck to all!

Re: Rectal Surgeon Recommendation in Boston
Thank you, guys.
My charge is a seasoned fighter who's been at it for several years and has had treatment at Dana Farber, so we are well-equipped.
I am looking for personal recommendations and names of trusted surgeons. Since Dana Farber itself doesn't provide surgical care, we have a choice between Brigham and MGH (all three are part of the system). If any of you have had surgeries at either place, I would appreciate the names of the surgeons you recommend.
