Chinese colorectal surgeons perform high-volume laparoscopic and robotic resections for colon and rectal cancers with outcomes matching top international centers. Advanced techniques include total mesorectal excision (TME) for rectal cancer and minimally invasive approaches that reduce recovery time. Comprehensive care includes neoadjuvant chemoradiation when needed, all at 60-75% less than US costs.
