According to the oncologist, if colon cancer begins to be treated at the first stage, the probability of a complete recovery is almost one hundred percent.

The oncologist explained in an interview what the chances of curing colon cancer detected at different stages may be.

“The probability of curing colon cancer is at all stages of the disease,” he said.

The doctor added that there may be a chance of cure even when the fourth stage is diagnosed the stage of colorectal cancer at which the tumor metastasizes. Although, of course, the number of patients who achieve remission with this stage of cancer is small.

Commenting on the possibility of treatment with colon cancer of the second and third stages, the oncologist noted the existence of “a fairly large percentage of those who recover.” But the most effective treatment is if the cancer is detected at its first stage of development.

“At the first stage of the disease, the chance of complete recovery is close to 100 percent,” the doctor said.

The doctor also drew attention to the fact that there are factors that affect the outcome of therapy. Among them are the person's age and the condition of their body, the location of the tumor, and genetics.
