How many years can you live after surgery for bowel cancer

After surgery for bowel cancer, a five-year survival rate of about 10% to 90% can be achieved, and the exact survival time can vary. Bowel cancer is a common malignant tumor, with colorectal cancer being more common, which is mostly caused by heredity, gene mutation, bad dietary habits and other factors. The treatment method after diagnosis is mainly through comprehensive treatment based on surgical resection. After active treatment, early-stage bowel cancer can obtain a five-year survival rate of about 90%; intermediate-stage bowel cancer has a five-year survival rate of about 40% to 70%; and advanced-stage bowel cancer has a five-year survival rate of only 10%. In short, the earlier the stage, the better the prognosis and the longer the survival time. After surgery, regular checkups and healthy lifestyle habits can effectively reduce recurrence and prolong survival time.
