We are number one in Korea in colorectal surgery.
We perform over 1,500 colon cancer operations each year- not only an unprecedented figure in Korea but also impressive by international standards also. Statistics show that one out of every ten colon cancer patients in Korea visits AMC for surgery. Colon cancer is not the only specialty for us – our specialists cover a variety of colorectal diseases including inflammatory bowel diseases and their treatments.
We provide optimum treatment for each patient.
Optimum treatment can mean many different things depending on each patient and his/her situation. Even the meaning can change for a patient at different times. This is why we offer a wide range of treatment options for our patients, from minimally-invasive procedures to excision of organs to chemotherapy. Also, we work closely with AMC's excellent specialists in oncology, radiation oncology, radiology, and urology, for comprehensive and systematic treatment.
Patients always come first at AMC.
We place our patients' needs at the top of our list of priorities. That is the philosophy behind our one-stop patient care system that includes AMC Cancer Center.
We never spare our efforts in research.
As the leader in medical practice, we focus on providing our patients with the best possible service. Through AMC's world-wide network of partnerships, the Department of Colorectal Surgery actively engages in research into more effective methods of diagnosis and treatment. We do our best to share the experience we have gained in clinical practice and to strengthen the foundations of theoretical research of medicine as well.
