Stage III colon cancer without distant metastasis should go to the hospital in time and under the guidance of physicians for standardized treatment, which includes palliative treatment, surgical treatment, chemotherapy, and the rest of adjuvant treatment.
There are three types of colon cancer, namely ulcerative, bulging and infiltrative, among which ulcerative type is the most common, accounting for more than 50%, with earlier metastasis; bulging type has better prognosis; and infiltrative type has the lowest degree of differentiation, higher degree of malignancy, and poorer prognosis.
According to TNM staging and international data, the 5-year survival rate of stage I can reach more than 90%, the 5-year survival rate of stage II to III is about 70%, the 5-year survival rate of stage IV is 30% if radical resection is possible, and the 5-year survival rate of stage IV is only 8% if palliative treatment is used.
Therefore, it can be seen that if you are diagnosed with stage III colon cancer, please seek medical treatment in time, most of them have good prognosis, and the main treatment adopted by current surgery is the comprehensive treatment mainly based on surgical resection.
