Is advanced stage colon cancer treatable?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: It is treatable but not curable. That is, you can treat it and may knock it down for a while ..t but it will always come back. But there are many factors that play into it. See cancer.org or cancer.gov for excellent information on the stage and what to expect.
