9. What Are the Stages of Colon Cancer?

There are four stages of colon cancer. Stage I Colon Cancer refers to cancer that has invaded the submucosa and mucosa. Stage II happens when the cancer spreads beyond the colon wall but hasn’t spread to nearby lymph nodes. Stage III colon cancer has spread to lymph nodes but hasn’t yet affected other bodily organs. Stage IV colon cancer refers to cancer that has spread to nearby lymph nodes and other organs.

It is important to note that each stage can be further divided into substages. Talk to your doctor for further details about your cancer stage.
