A member asked:
How long is the survival rate of an 88 yo patient, who underwent partial colectomy due to stage 3 colon cancer without chemotherapy?

All depends on many other things like his general health, co morbidities, grade of tumor. It is very difficult to predict. Wish him/her a long survival and good health.
