What Causes Colon Cancer?
10. Long-Term Outlook
If colon cancer is caught early, it can be treated completely, and the patient can live for more than 5 years without any problems. However, colon cancer returns in many cases within 5 years. If it does not, the patient can consider themselves colon cancer-free.
It is worth noting that the treatment process depends on many factors, especially at which stage the cancer is discovered. Stage 0, 1, and 2 can be cured completely. However, stages 3 and 4 are difficult to treat, but there are always exceptions.
