ESSO 43 | Evolving colorectal cancer treatment: combining chemo, radiotherapy, and advanced robotic surgery

Richard Hillegersberg, MD, PhD, UMC Utrecht, Utrecht, Netherlands, discusses the evolving treatment approach for colorectal cancer, highlighting the shift from traditional surgery to a combination of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and advanced robotic surgery. He explains that robotic techniques have made complex surgeries, including those for advanced-stage cancers, more precise and minimally invasive, with the robot providing enhanced imaging and control for oncological dissections. This interview took place at the ESSO 43 congress in Antwerp, Belgium.
