Is Surgical Intervention Required During Early Stages Of Colon Cancer?
Absolutely correct protocol.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks fir the query.
Absolutely correct protocol.
Book says-
If your cancer is small, localized in a polyp and in a very early stage, surgeon may remove it completely during a colonoscopy otherwise a minimally invasive approach to surgery, such as:Endoscopic mucosal surgery is used.
After the removal colonoscopy should be done after almost 6 months and in case recurrence is seen invasive surgical procedures are used.Partial colectomy is usually done. During this procedure, the surgeon removes the part of your colon that contains the cancer, along with a margin of normal tissue on either side of the cancer.Radiation therapy is rarely used in early-stage colon cancer, but is a routine part of treating rectal cancer, especially if the cancer has penetrated through the wall of the rectum or traveled to nearby lymph nodes.
You are in very early phase.
Invasive surgical procedures are not required.
You are in right hands.
Follow your surgeon.
Wish you great luck!
