What does moderately differentiated bowel cancer mean

Moderately differentiated bowel cancer means that the cancer cells are moderately differentiated and have an average prognosis.
Bowel cancer is a common malignant tumor, among which colon cancer and rectal cancer have the highest incidence rate, which can be caused by gene mutation, heredity and other factors. Pathological examination of cancer tissues can determine the degree of differentiation of cancer cells, which can be classified into high, medium and low, in which the lower the classification, the higher the degree of malignancy and the worse the prognosis.
Therefore, moderate differentiation means that the degree of cell differentiation is between high and low, and the malignancy of the tumor is general and the prognosis is general. Usually, the main treatment after diagnosis is surgical resection, after which radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy and other therapies can be supplemented according to the condition. Early-stage patients can achieve a five-year survival rate of 90% to 95%.
