The signs and symptoms of colorectal cancers – abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, and changes in bowel movements – are things most people would rather not discuss. Joseph D. DiRocco, MD, MBA, FACS, eliminates this anxiety for his patients and helps them feel at ease at a vulnerable time. Together with his colleagues in the Sandra & Malcolm Berman Cancer Institute at GBMC, he creates a plan to treat each patient’s individual disease, whether that includes surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation, to achieve the best outcomes. With training from the renowned Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, Dr. DiRocco expertly performs the latest endoscopic, laparoscopic, and robotic surgeries to make life better for his patients.
