Stage IV Colon Cancer

Stage IV colon cancer indicates that the cancer has spread beyond the colon to other parts of the body, such as the liver, lungs, or other organs. This advanced stage typically involves one or more distant metastases, making it more challenging to treat. Treatment options may include surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy aimed at controlling the disease and prolonging life. The prognosis depends on various factors, including the extent of spread and the patient’s overall health. Early detection and advancing treatments can improve outcomes and quality of life for individuals with Stage IV colon cancer.
