Cure rate after surgery for ascending colon cancer

The overall cure rate of patients after ascending colon surgery is relatively high, basically above 50%, but it also depends on the staging of the patient’s tumor. Because sometimes ascending colon tumor is not discovered in time, because the anatomy of ascending colon is relatively thick, some patients only discover the tumor in the intestine when they are anemic or have obvious abdominal masses. If the patient is an early stage ascending colon cancer, the cure rate is generally very high, with a five-year survival rate of over 90%, but for patients with progressive renal colon cancer, the five-year survival rate may be lower, for example, around 60%-70%. In addition, it is also very important to have the treatment after surgery, including chemotherapy, and regular review.
