my friend had cancer in her appendix.
removal found cancer on the outside of her colon now they say she has colon cancer
she is in chemo right now and not tolerating it well

does one go to a colon cancer oncologist specialist or just a medical oncologist?
how does one go about finding the top colon physician in your area?
we are in austin texas...

thanks

Hello

A medical oncologist is the one that handles all the chemotherapy and general cancer care. If you are in Texas, MD Anderson in Houston is the place to go.

Leo

Hi Leo,

i would guess she would want a second opinion on her treatment.

Hello

Thanks for your comments. Anyway, from their website I have the list of GI Oncology doctors:

Jaffer A. Ajani, MD
Thomas D. Brown, MD
David Z. Chang, MD, PHD
Cathy Eng, MD
Michael J. Fisch, MD, MPH
Linus Ho, MD, PhD
Razelle Kurzrock, MD
Renato Lenzi, MD
Edward Lin, MD
Arlene Nazario, MD
Alexandria Phan, MD
Martin N. Raber, MD
Imad Shureiqi, MD, MS
Melanie B. Thomas, MD, MS, BA
Robert Wolff, MD
Henry Q. Xiong, MD, PhD
James C. Yao, MD

I would call MD Anderson and ask who would be able to see her.

regards,
Leo

Hi Leo,

I think adding a local directory to these forums to answer these questions will be great.

Thanks.
