In surgical oncology, the critical window of time between diagnosis and the start of treatment can close quickly, especially for aggressive or complex digestive cancers. While the national average time to treatment is nearly 30 days, we are working to reduce that by 30%.

Speed and quality shouldn’t be opposites. In fact, both are vital part of quality cancer care. Learn from Dr. Mihir M. Shah why “treatment yesterday” is always better than “treatment tomorrow.”

Learn why MedStar Health is reducing the time from digestive cancer diagnosis to treatment.

Don’t ignore the signs. PAD is common and treatable, and getting evaluated can help you stay active and keep doing what you enjoy all season long.
