A member asked:
Are certain cases of colon cancer more aggressive than others? why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely: The more bizarre the tumor (poorly differentiated or undifferentiated) the more aggressive it would be, as a rule. Now, every patient and their cancer has their own relationship, and there are no absolutes. Your oncologist and/or surgeon can discuss the behavior of your cancer, but it's hard to be specific. Good luck.
