Intermediate stage colon cancer with no spread means that regional lymph node metastasis has occurred, but no metastasis to distal organs.
According to TNM staging criteria, intermediate stage colon cancer belongs to stage II to III, in which the cancer cells have already invaded the surrounding tissues and metastasized to the regional lymph nodes, but have not metastasized to the distal organs and spread, the condition of the patient is relatively mild, and the prognosis of active treatment is good.
Clinically, patients with mid-stage colon cancer without proliferation are mainly treated with surgical resection, including traditional open surgery and laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery. In addition to resecting the primary lesion, it is also necessary to clear the surrounding lymphatic tissues, and if necessary, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other treatments are also needed after the surgery.
Mid-stage colon cancer suggests timely consultation and standardized treatment under professional doctor’s guidance in order to prolong the survival period and improve the prognosis.
