Houston-based University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has opened a colorectal cancer center. 

The facility brings subspecialty colorectal cancer care services together in one location. It houses 32 exam rooms, including five advanced procedure rooms, according to a March 19 news release from MD Anderson. 

Supportive services such as nutrition counseling, pain management, genetic counseling and risk assessment are also available. MD Anderson plans to begin a second expansion phase to “optimize patient flow and subspecialty coordination,” the release said. 

At the Becker's Perioperative Summit, taking place September 14–15 in Chicago, perioperative leaders and healthcare executives will focus on improving operating room efficiency, enhancing patient safety, optimizing staffing and driving innovation across surgical services.
