Cancer I have learned plays no favorites. It seems it comes down to the genes you care most often. I just heard today that the same gene that will increase the risk of breast & prostrate cancer also is connected to colon cancer. Bottom line man or woman, rich or poor, ethenic background matters not. You walk this earth your at risk & there seems few positive answers to your question.

What is the survival rate of colon cancer

What is the survival rate of colon cancer?

Cancer - 7 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
depends on when it,s detected. early on, it,s very high.
2 :
It depends on the stage. In stage I (the tumor in still contained in the colon), the survival rate is about 90%. In stage II (the tumor has invaded the colon wall), it's about 80%. In stage III (the tumor has spread to the lymph nodes), it hits about 64%, but it's better if only 1-4 nodes are invaded, so probably about 70% for that.
3 :
As with all cancers, it depends on-- --the stage it was diagnosed in -- Your age -- Other medical history or problems. But in general, its one of the cancers with a high survival rate these days. I think they have made more improvments in colan cancer recovery then just about any other form of cancer. Probably 80-90% for the average person.
4 :
Survival rates vary for adenocarcinoma of the colon, but these statistics will give you a general idea of the survival rate for Singapore residents who have adenocarcinoma of the colon. The five-year survival rate represents the percentage of patients alive five years after their initial diagnosis with adenocarcinoma of the colon. http://coloncancer.about.com/od/cancerstatistics/a/SG_Survival_AdC.htm
5 :
These are the best stats available at the moment Local - confined to just the one site = 89.7% Regional - the cancer is spreading into surrounding tissue = 68.4% Distant - has spread to a distant part of the body e.g. brain = 10.8% However colonic cancer is one of the less agressive and slower growing types of cancer, which is why at 64.4% the OVERALL survival rate is very similar to the regional survival rate
6 :
not long so go see a doctor ok an have a good day
7 :
It depends on the stage. At stage 1 the 5-year survival rate is 95%, at stage 4 it is 5%.

You will need whatever testing your doctor orders based on what they find on physical examination. You will obviously need a colonoscopy.
2 :
The blood test is to see if you are anemic as this is an indication of a GI bleed. To test for cancer and/or to find the source of any bleeding in the GI track is done by colonoscopy and an EGD.
3 :
FOBT (fecal occult blood test) FIT (fecal immunochemical test) iFOBT (immunochemical fecal occult blood test) Other tests for Colon Cancer: Colonoscopy Virtual colonoscopy Double contrast barium enema (DCBE) Flexible sigmoidoscopy (flex-sig)
4 :
Anal Cavity Tests.

8 :
I would get a card with some humor in it something that might reflect a memory or something that was funny that happen (nothing sad or gloomy) .I would tell him he needs to get better quick because the next time he See's you you maybe his nurse! It's not easy to be on the up side when a friend is ill but try to keep it cheerful as you can & tell him your pulling for him & he should fight with all he's got because the best times are yet to come.

What are other treatment options for stage 2 colon cancer

What are other treatment options for stage 2 colon cancer?
they removed 85% of the cancer. I really need other options other than chemo

Chemo is the best option. Please take it.
2 :
There is none. Dont be fooled by anyone telling you chemo is not helpful. It has saved more lives then you can imagine. The statistics that work against chemo are nothing but smoke and mirros. Stage two colon cancer has good survival rates with chemotherapy. Without, fatal in most cases.

Find out where they are doing Clinical Trials for the drug Avastin. I can't say if you can take that drug without also taking traditional chemo, but I heard that they are having positive results with Avastin on colon and lung cancers. Avastin is not a chemo. It is a very expensive drug that robs the nutrients from cancer cells. On your internet search engine - type in "clinical trials" and then the country that you are in and the websites should come up and you can look through all the open/available clinical trials right now. Good luck.
2 :
It is very strange that they could not remove a Stage 2 colon cancer. In fact, it does not make any sense to me. Please get a second opinion. Your best chance for survival is removing the whole thing. Please go to www.fascrs.org and locate a colon and rectal surgeon closed to you ASAP! Good luck!
