@CraigBrainard,
There's no single answer to this one. There's just too many variables.

Confounding factors: age, type of cancer, treatment so far, treatment plans, family history, time of diagnosis, etc.

Even then the answer can only be a vague guess.

@CraigBrainard,
Hello Friends,

Colorectal cancer, commonly known as colon cancer or bowel cancer, is a cancer from uncontrolled cell growth in the colon or rectum (parts of the large intestine), or in the appendix. Genetic analysis shows that colon and rectal tumours are essentially genetically the same cancer. Symptoms of colorectal cancer typically include rectal bleeding and anemia which are sometimes associated with weight loss and changes in bowel habits. Most colorectal cancer occurs due to lifestyle and increasing age with only a minority of cases associated with underlying genetic disorders. It typically starts in the lining of the bowel and if left untreated, can grow into the muscle layers underneath, and then through the bowel wall. Screening is effective at decreasing the chance of dying from colorectal cancer and is recommended starting at the age of 50 and continuing until a person is 75 years old. Localized bowel cancer is usually diagnosed through sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy.

Thanks and Regards,
Milon Jones

@CraigBrainard,
Go through the diagnostics, find out first do you have a cancer or not if do you have find out in which stage you’re. In colon cancer there are 8 Stages. The first stage of colon cancer is curable with surgery. If it is not spreads at all in your body you have chance of cure. If it is spreads to other organs there is no cure

The survival rate of Colon cancer is 5years.the percentage of the patients who are alive 5years after they found cancer.

Stage 5-year Survival Rate
I 74%
IIA 65%
IIB 52%
IIC 32%
IIIA 74%*
IIIB 45%*
IIIC 33%
IV 6%
