A doctor has provided 1 answer
Find it early.: If you, or someone you know has colon cancer, the specifics of the the type, location, size and spread of tumor will guide the best answer. In general the best chance of curing colon cancer is be finding it in its early stages. Small tumors can be complete resected before any spread. Tumor that have already made it to the liver and beyond are more problematic. Colon cancer screening is key.
