What is the treatment for colon cancer?

The treatment for colon cancer, initially, generally centers around the removal of the cancer or tumor. This is done by surgery. Depending on the involvement of the colon cancer, and involvement of any potential adjacent or more distant organs, then other modalities, such as chemotherapy, may be recommended. Other treatments for colon cancer include radiation, sometimes to shrink the size of the tumor, if the tumor is not amendable to surgical recession at the time of diagnosis.
