For the convenience of colorectal cancer patients, a direct call to the colorectal cancer center (02-2030-5194) is available during business hours. If you have any questions about the consultation and treatment of colorectal cancer, please call the Colorectal Cancer Center or ask questions at Naver Cafe. 

Our goal is to constantly give hope to our patients, help them every step of the way, and become the best colorectal cancer center in the world.
