Symptoms and Prevention of Colon Cancer - Prof. Baruch Brenner

Questions & Answers — Professor Baruch Brenner

1. When do patients usually come to see you?

Most often, patients come shortly after diagnosis. But many also reach out later — especially when a treatment plan has already been suggested and they want to take a moment to review everything more calmly.

Gastrointestinal cancers can be very different. Even with the same diagnosis, treatment approaches may vary.

So I usually start by reviewing pathology, imaging, and the medical history. Sometimes we don’t change anything. Sometimes we adjust the plan.

Both situations are completely normal.

2. Should I get a second opinion for stomach, colon, or pancreatic cancer?

I usually say — it’s a reasonable step. Especially when treatment is complex.

Many patients come simply to confirm they’re on the right path. Sometimes they are. Sometimes we explore additional options.

In oncology, there is rarely just one solution. That’s why second opinions are often part of the process.

3. How do you usually build a treatment plan?

I try not to rush decisions. First, it’s important to understand the full picture.

I review test results, talk with the patient, and sometimes consult surgeons or other specialists. With gastrointestinal cancers, treatment is often combined, so collaboration is essential.

Then we discuss possible options. I try to explain things clearly and without complicated terms.

4. Is chemotherapy always necessary?

No. And this is one of the most common questions.

Sometimes treatment starts with surgery. Sometimes with systemic therapy. In certain situations, we may even begin with observation.

There’s no universal answer. Every case is different.

5. Do you use new treatments and clinical trials?

Yes, when appropriate.

New therapies appear constantly, but not every new treatment is better than standard therapy. Sometimes it is. Sometimes it isn’t.

So we discuss options carefully and without pressure.

6. Can I start with an online consultation?

Yes. Many patients begin this way.

I usually ask patients to send medical records in advance. This helps me better understand the situation.

During the consultation, we discuss possible next steps. Often, we can already outline a plan.

7. What is most important when treating gastrointestinal cancers?

Probably the most important thing is not to rush decisions.

In most cases, there is time to carefully review options. Sometimes we involve surgeons, sometimes additional specialists.

I try to make sure patients understand what’s happening and what choices exist. That usually helps make decisions more comfortably.
