THE KNOW HOW
Colorectal cancer starts in the colon or rectum and can become advanced when it spreads to other parts of the body. In Abu Dhabi, most new cases are discovered at a late stage, which negatively impacts survival rates. Treatment options for colorectal cancer depend on the stage and may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, targeted therapies, or immunotherapy.
Cancer is more than a medical diagnosis—behind it lies a unique human story. The World Cancer Day 2025–2027 theme “United by Unique” places people at the center of care, empowering their voices and experiences. This campaign highlights the value of people-centered approaches, which bring together patient- and person-centered models to create a compassionate, holistic healthcare environment. Every journey with cancer is unique; united, we rewrite the future of cancer care so that no one is left behind.
