At the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute, we give you world-class care for your colon cancer. We provide:

• Colon cancer specialists: Our doctors completed fellowships at some of the nation’s top cancer centers. This means they have at least a year of advanced training after medical school, and hands-on training called residency.
• A team approach: Our team meets weekly to discuss cases one by one. They share their expertise across specialties, working together to consider every treatment option.
• Coordinated care: We work with the OHSU Digestive Health Center to meet your needs at any stage of cancer care.
• Access to the latest findings: As part of Oregon’s only academic health center, our doctors pursue discoveries in the lab. We give you access to promising new therapies and a national network of clinical trials.

• Physical and occupational therapists to improve your strength and function
