1 :
If detected before getting into the lymph nodes and treated very properly, chances are very good.
2 :
About 50% in both men and women. The problem stems from people not getting tested often enough. Cancer like this must be caught early.
3 :
50/50 it could go either way, it probably also is going to vary alot depending on what kind of shape and health you are in otherwise, and I really don't know how good it could be if one has cancer, although how much of a life can one live with carrying a colostomy bag around with them? I surely hope it isn't something you or someone you care about has to worry about and if you do I wish you the best I myself have had some bleeding ulcers and I think it is coming back and it really worries me, which doesn't do a persons body any good
4 :
The five-year survival rates vary drastically, depending on the stage at first diagnosis. Stage 1: 96% Stage 2: 87% Stage 3: 55% Stage 4: 5%
5 :
It depends on the histologic type, stage (how far if spread beyond the primary site already), and location. For early stage and in higher up with complete resection, the prognosis can be good.
6 :
Chances are 98% If you ingest glyconutrients.
