What Are The Treatment Options For Colon Cancer? - Dr. Kakoli Lakhar Manipal Hospitals Bangalore

Treatment for colon cancer is based largely on the stage (extent) of the cancer, but other factors can also be important. People with colon cancers that have not spread to distant sites usually have surgery as the main or first treatment. Adjuvant (additional) chemotherapy may also be used. Most adjuvant treatment is given for about 6 months. Since stage 0 colon cancers have not grown beyond the inner lining of the colon, surgery to take out the cancer is typically all that is needed. This can be done in most cases by removing the polyp (polypectomy) or local excision through a colonoscope. Removing part of the colon (partial colectomy) may occasionally be needed if a tumor is too big to be removed by local excision. Stage I colon cancers have grown into the layers of the colon wall, but they have not spread outside the colon wall itself (or into the nearby lymph nodes). Stage I includes cancers that were part of a polyp. If the polyp is removed completely during colonoscopy, with no cancer cells at the edges (margins) of the removed sample, no other treatment may be needed. If the cancer in the polyp is high grade (see Colorectal Cancer Stages) or there are cancer cells at the edges of the polyp, more surgery may be recommended. You may also be advised to have more surgery if the polyp couldn’t be removed completely or if it had to be removed in many pieces, making it hard to see if cancer cells were at the edges. For cancers not in a polyp, partial colectomy ─ surgery to remove the section of colon that has cancer and nearby lymph nodes ─ is the standard treatment. You typically will not need any additional treatment. Know More Visit Our Hospital Website: https://www.manipalhospitals.com/ Visit Our Oncology Doctors: https://www.manipalhospitals.com/olda...
