Dr. Chang is the Deputy Department Chair, Department of Surgical Oncology, Division of Surgery, Chief, Section of Colon and Rectal Surgery at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX.

The following podcast features a conversation with individuals who are experts within their respective fields and are members of the Society’s Disease Site Work Groups. SSO supports the need for treatment decisions to be made on a case-by-case basis.
