If you have ben diagnosed with adenocarcinoma colon cancer stage iv what is the outlook? is there a cure? how will this affect the quality of ones l

Treatable: In general, stage 4 (metastatic = spread) colon cancer is incurable. That said, a small % of people may have long term survival or maybe even cure. Important predictive and prognostic tests include kras (for cetuximab) and braf (+ = poor response to traditional chemotherapy). New drugs are coming out for this disease.

Outlook can be good: Eventhough stage iv, meenng metastatic disease, is not curable; the outlook can be good since there are good chemotherapy for this disease as well as other local aggressive treatments that are effective against this disease. The mainstay of treatment for stage IV remains chemo and local aggressive treatments like surgery, radiosurgery, rfa etc can be used when appropriate.
