What is the survival rate of sigmoid colon cancer

First, the five-year survival rate of patients with colorectal cancer is closely related to the clinical stage of tumor. The earlier the stage, the higher the survival rate. The 5-year survival rate was 90% in stage I and 60-80% in stage II. A large number of literatures have reported that the 5-year survival rate of patients with resectable colon cancer without lymph node metastasis is about 90% in stage I and 60-80% in stage II.

Second: for colon cancer, if the resection is clean and there is no metastasis, regular chemotherapy is carried out after the operation, and the 5-year survival rate is generally more than 90%. Because the individual situation is very different. As a patient, it is appropriate to know the cure rate, but it is more appropriate not to ask how many years he can live.

Third: colon cancer is the same as other cancers. It is a systemic disease with local manifestations. Up to now, the 5-year survival rate is still around 50%. Effective comprehensive treatment or appropriate adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy is an increasingly important aspect in clinical practice, but there are still controversies and no encouraging results.

Sigmoid colon cancer is very serious. It is a malignant tumor of the digestive tract. It needs to be found as soon as possible and treated in time to improve the survival rate of patients. At the earliest stage, there may be abdominal distension and other symptoms, and then there will be changes in defecation habits. Later, there will be mucopurulent bloody stool and other symptoms.
