A laparoscopic surgery specialist in Sebring, Florida, Dr. Michael Latzko performs minimally-invasive surgery not only in the treatment of such conditions as hernia, achalasia and gastrointestinal reflux (GERD) but also as an effective way to treat certain types of cancer – including Colorectal (colon) cancer.

Some of the more common signs of colon cancer include:

  • Weakness and fatigue
  • Rectal bleeding
  • An unexpected change in bowel habits (such as constipation or diarrhea)
  • Abdominal pain or cramping
  • Unexpected weight loss
  • Blood in the stool

It’s important to note that the above symptoms are more often than not the result of a condition other than colon cancer. If you are experiencing such symptoms, please consult with your physician or a GI specialist.
