SUMMARY

The research focus of Justin T. Brady, M.D., is on the use of minimally invasive colorectal surgery, organ preservation in rectal cancer and hereditary colorectal cancer disorders.

Focus areas

Specific ongoing efforts include studying:

• Decision modeling for surgical care in hereditary colorectal cancer syndromes.
• Surgical outcomes in complex colorectal cancer surgeries.
• Nonoperative strategies for patients with rectal cancer.
• Organ preservation plans for people with rectal cancer.

Significance to patient care

Dr. Brady's research can improve patient care in multiple ways. His research into surgical decision-making can help inform patients about the risks and benefits of different surgical options for heritable colorectal cancer syndromes.

Dr. Brady studies surgical outcomes in complex colorectal surgeries. His findings can help pinpoint treatments both prior to surgery and afterward to improve patient care. Dr. Brady's interest in organ preservation techniques can help decrease the need for radical surgery for rectal cancer. These new approaches can have a profound impact on the quality of life for patients.
