A member asked:

How quickly colon cancer is spreading from lymph nodes to other organs?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Highly variable: Each person is different and there is no set time or schedule where colon cancer may or may not spread to lymph nodes or to other organs. Some small colon cancers will spread early and other cancers will grow large and not spread.

Dr Rao and another doctor agreed
