Can Colon Cancer Be Treated?
My brother had a colonoscopy today. The doctor told me it looks like he has pretty advanced colon cancer, but he just told my brother that he has a tumor and they will talk about it at an appointment next week. He is 83 years old, has a pace maker andcopd. Is there any hope for him?

Hello,
For advanced colon cancer, chemotherapy like treatment done If he is not fit for operation. Kindly provide reports for giving more comment. If tumor metastasis occurred then survival rate decreases. Consult Oncosurgeon who is trained in gastric surgery for your work up.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
