Yes, absolutely: The majority of stage 2 colon cancer patients are cured with the surgery alone. A smaller group of stage 2 colon cancers have already spread, but are not evident in the specimen or during the imaging. So the answer to your question is yes, they can, but close follow up is a must.

Yes: So, if they are "cured" then the colon cancer is not the limiting factor in life expectancy. Most stage 2 colon cancers are treated with surgery only. Some "high risk" receive chemo as well. The cure rate for stage 1 and 2 colon cancer is high.
