Stage III: Means there are small deposits of cancer (separate from the primary cancer) in the mesentery or the tissues surrounding the colon. Nodes are negative but is nonetheless a stage iii and should be worked up and treated as such. Best regards.

Characteristics: These are all characteristics we use to determine the aggressiveness of a cancer. These dictate to us, if and which chemotherapy should be used and other treatments and follow ups accordingly. The features you describe should all warrant a consultation with an oncologist.
