| Introduction | Colorectal Cancer Center at the Kyungpook National University is a center-of-excellence to provide multidisciplinary program of diagnostic tests and multispecilaty consultation services for patients with cancer. The colorectal cancer unit primarily treats patients with cancer of the large bowel as well as those at high risk of developing cancer of the colon and rectum. Top-notch professionals from the departments of surgical, medical and radiation oncology, and diagnostic radiology, pathology, along with a team of specialized nurses, social workers, and genetic counselors, are dedicated to the management and cure of colorectal cancer. Especially, colorectal cancer center has been pioneering minimally invasive surgery such as laparoscopic and robotic surgery for colorectal patients which bring less pain, earlier recovery, shortened hospital stay and better cosmesis after surgery. We are contributing our efforts to education of local and international doctors by running regular training programs and conferences. Also, in association with many world-renowned centers, we have been leading many clinical trials. Besides clinical activities, basic research has been carried out in pursuit of identification of carcinogenesis, metastasis and chemo-radiosensitivity and so forth. Our ultimate goal is the cure for patients with colorectal diseases.
