A member asked:
My friend has intestinal cancer and its moving up to the colon. how can this be treated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Colon cancer is: Quite common; small intestine cancer is not. Penetration thru the intestinal wall, and into nodes forecasst much higher risk. Established travle to far away sites (liver, lungs, brain) is much worse news. You can help by getting her to a center with a good team that knows and cares about her first, including her safety, and knowledge about the disease.
