The symptoms of colorectal cancer depend on the location of tumor in bowel and whether it has spread to elsewhere in the body (metastasis).

Colon Cancer Prognosis
There are five colon cancer stages (0-4).Stage 0 Colon Cancer is the earliest form of cancer where it is in its original place.In stage 1,cancer has extended beyond the innermost layer of the colon into the middle layers of the colon.Colon cancer is considered stage 2 after it moves beyond the middle layers of the colon.If colon cancer is found in at least three lymph nodes, it has reached stage 3.Stage 4 is the most advanced colon cancer stage where the cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes and other parts of the body.

Colon Cancer Prognosis
Most cases of colon cancer begin as small, noncancerous (benign) clumps of cells called adenomatous polyps(adenomatous polyposis).

Colon Cancer Prognosis
Adenomatous polyposis syndromes tend to run in families. Such cases are referred to as familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP).

Colon Cancer Prognosis
Another group of colon cancer syndromes, termed hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) syndromes, also run in families. In these syndromes, colon cancer develops without the precursor polyps.

Colon Cancer Prognosis
Polyps may be small and due to this reason, doctors recommend regular screening tests to help prevent colon cancer by identifying polyps before they become colon cancer.

Colon Cancer Prognosis
A prognosis gives an idea of the likely course and outcome of a disease - that is, the chance that a patient will recover or have a recurrence (return of the cancer).

Colon Cancer Prognosis
Colon cancer prognosis is based on several factors, such as the type and location of the cancer and the stage of the disease.Other factors that may affect a colon cancer prognosis include the patient's age, general health, and response to treatment.
