Specialist-Delivered Colonic Cancer Surgery in the Irish Model 3 Hospital: A Single-Centre Experience
CCS can be delivered safely and effectively in regional hospitals under the care of appropriately supported subspecialists. Both patient and healthcare system benefit from the delivery of high-quality oncological surgery locally, reducing the burden on tertiary centres. The projected doubling of colorectal cancer cases by 2040 requires appropriate utilisation of available resources.
