If colon cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes but not to other parts of the body, surgery may be used followed by chemotherapy. When the disease has spread to distant sites, chemotherapy may be used as the primary treatment, especially if surgery is unlikely to cure the cancer. If the disease has spread in the form of a small number of distant tumors, surgery may be used to help cure the disease or extend the patient’s lifespan.
