Types of Colorectal Cancer Treated by Dr. Anjali
Colon Cancer
Cancer arising in the colon, the longest part of the large intestine. Treatment involves removing the affected segment along with nearby lymph nodes, often through laparoscopic or keyhole techniques that shorten recovery.
Rectal Cancer
Cancer in the rectum, the final section of the bowel. Precise surgery helps preserve bowel function and, wherever oncologically safe, the sphincter, with radiation often used beforehand to shrink the tumour.
Recurrent Colorectal Cancer
Cancer that returns after earlier treatment. Each case is reviewed individually to weigh repeat or salvage surgery against other therapies, an area where Dr. Singh has particular expertise.
Advanced Cancer with Peritoneal Spread
When cancer spreads to the abdominal lining, treatment may combine cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC to clear deposits within the abdomen.
For complex abdominal cases that present at an advanced stage, Dr. Singh assesses surgical options through diagnostic laparoscopy and PCI scoring before deciding on the right approach.
What Is Dr. Anjali Singh's Approach to Colorectal Cancer?
As a Surgical Oncologist in Bhubaneswar, Dr. Anjali Singh confirms the diagnosis and stage before any operation, so surgery is offered only when it is clearly the right choice for the patient.
Confirming the Stage
Dr. Singh reviews imaging, endoscopy, and biopsy findings to establish the exact type, grade, and extent of the cancer before planning surgery.
Assessing Surgical Fitness
She evaluates symptoms, history, and overall fitness for surgery, which shapes how extensive the operation can safely be.
Planning the Right Procedure
Based on the tumour’s location and stage, Dr. Singh decides between bowel resection, sphincter-preserving surgery, or minimally invasive techniques, choosing the approach that clears the cancer while protecting function.
Assessing Peritoneal Spread
Where spread to the abdominal lining is suspected, she uses diagnostic laparoscopy and PCI scoring to decide whether cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC will help.
Deciding Surgery Within a Team
Dr. Singh finalises the surgical plan alongside radiology, pathology, and medical oncology, so the timing and type of operation are agreed before treatment begins.
This focused surgical approach ensures every patient receives an operation that is genuinely beneficial, timed correctly, and matched to the stage of their cancer.
What Treatment Does Dr. Anjali Singh Provide for Colorectal Cancer?
As an experienced Surgical Oncologist in Bhubaneswar, Dr. Anjali Singh provides surgical treatment for colorectal cancer through a structured, individualised process, not a one-size-fits-all plan. Every procedure is decided after staging and a multidisciplinary review that protects both outcomes and quality of life.
Colorectal Cancer Surgery
Removal of the cancerous bowel segment and nearby lymph nodes, tailored to the tumour stage for optimal cancer control.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Laparoscopic and keyhole techniques that help reduce pain, blood loss, and recovery time while maintaining effective cancer treatment.
Sphincter-Preserving Rectal Surgery
Advanced rectal cancer surgery focused on preserving bowel function and avoiding a permanent stoma whenever possible.
Cytoreductive Surgery with HIPEC
Combines tumour removal with heated chemotherapy inside the abdomen to treat cancers that have spread to the abdominal lining.
Recurrent and Advanced Cancer Surgery
Specialized surgical treatment for recurrent or advanced colorectal cancers, with each case assessed individually for the best outcome.
This focused surgical approach ensures every patient receives an operation that is genuinely beneficial, timed correctly, and matched to the stage of their cancer.
How Much Does Colorectal Cancer Treatment Cost in Bhubaneswar?
Colorectal cancer treatment cost isn’t a single fixed number. It depends on several factors that vary based on your diagnosis and the treatment plan chosen.
Stage of Cancer
- Early-stage cancers usually need less intensive treatment than advanced or recurrent ones
- Advanced disease may require combined surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation
Type of Surgery
- Open, laparoscopic, and minimally invasive procedures differ in complexity and recovery needs
- Sphincter-preserving and salvage surgeries are more intricate
Additional Therapies Required
- Chemotherapy and radiation add to the overall plan when needed
- CRS with HIPEC for peritoneal spread is a more extensive procedure
Length of Hospital Stay
- Duration of admission and post-operative care affect the total
- Minimally invasive surgery often shortens the stay
Diagnostic Workup
- Imaging, endoscopy, biopsy, and peritoneal assessment form part of the plan
- These confirm the exact stage before any operation
Insurance and Aftercare
- Insurance cover and follow-up surveillance influence the final figure
- Coordinated post-treatment care is part of the journey

Frequently Asked Questions
Is colorectal cancer curable?
Yes, especially when detected early. Many early-stage colorectal cancers are cured with surgery alone, and outcomes remain good even in some advanced cases when treated by an experienced surgical oncologist.
Is surgery always required for colorectal cancer?
Not always. Surgery is the main treatment for most cases, but the final plan is confirmed only after staging and a tumour board review decide it is the most effective option for that patient.
How long is recovery after colorectal cancer surgery?
Recovery varies by patient and procedure. Minimally invasive surgery generally allows a shorter hospital stay and a quicker return to daily activities than open surgery.
Can recurrent colorectal cancer be treated?
In many cases, yes. Dr. Anjali Singh has immense expertise in managing recurrent and advanced colorectal cancers through repeat or salvage surgery, decided on a case-by-case basis.
Where does Dr. Anjali Singh treat colorectal cancer patients?
She practises as a Consultant GI and Thoracic Surgical Oncologist at Bagchi Sri Shankara Cancer Centre and Research Institute, Bhubaneswar.
