It has four stages:
1. Just a tumour. Treatment is usually just surgery.
2. Cancer spread to wall of colon but still confined to colon. Treatment is surgery and sometimes chemo is recommended.
3. Cancer has spread to lymph nodes outside of colon. At this point surgery takes place and chemo is strongly recommended.
4. Cancer has spread to other organs. Treatment becomes more difficult.
All cancers have 4 stages.
Doctors classify the progression using stages, from Stage 1 to Stage 4. The same classification is used for all other cancers except blood cancers.
The treatment protocol for each stage of cancer is different. But it’s important not to generalize the prospects / treatment approach according to stages. For example, advances in medical knowledge over the last 5 years have allowed many stage 4 patients to live much longer than was thought possible before.
