What Is Colon Cancer?
7. What Does It Mean if Colon Cancer Has Metastasized?
If your doctor tells you that your colon cancer has metastasized, it means that it has traveled to other body parts. Usually, metastatic colon cancer spreads to the liver. However, it can also spread to the central nervous system, bones, lungs and lymph nodes.
Once colon cancer metastasizes, it must be treated aggressively for the best outcome. Talk to your doctor about recommended treatments, including surgery, chemotherapy and other options.
