Depends on where in the colon and what stage. The later the stage the less likely she is to survive. But the 5 year survival rating is as follows.
Rectum: 59%
Right colon: 59%
Transverse colon: 59%
Rectosigmoid junction: 62%
Ascending colon: 63%
Left colon: 65%
Descending colon: 66%
If it’s caught honestly early on, it’s very treatable. Remember, Ronald Reagan had colon cancer and he survived it with no problems.
Anyone with polyps should have a colonoscopy on a regular basis. . The colon is a very tough piece of tissue and it takes quite a while for cancer to eat trough it.
Like most cancers it depends on the stage. At stage 1 the 5 year survival rate is 95% at stage 4 it is 5%.
