Is Having Colon Cancer In The Ascending Colon An Advantage?

Are there any advantages to having colon cancer in the ascending colon as compared to other parts of the colon? I heard tumors in this area usually grow "outwards"...is this good or bad? Had a colonoscopy and they found a cancerous mass that had roughly been there for 1 year and a half to 2 years... biopsy results have not come in yet or scans.
Can someone please provide me with any positive info based on the location ?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
No it has no advantage. Moreover if tumour grows outside then it is more risky. It will detect in layer stage. If tumour grows in lumen then it causes obstruction and produces symptoms earlier so it can bd detected at an early stage. Wait for your biopsy results and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
