Diagnosis
A person with colon cancer will be diagnosed in one
of two ways:
It is found on a routine screening test.
Symptoms lead a person to the doctor, and tests to findthe cause of the symptoms reveal colon cancer.
Ideally, every case of colon cancer would be found withroutine screening. This is because in the early stages,
people with colon cancer typically have no symptomsat all, and colon cancer is most curable when foundearly, at the time itsleast likely to cause symptoms.

Treatment
Colon Cancer Surgery
Stage 0 colon cancer may be treated by removing thecancer cells, often during a colonoscopy. For stages I, II,and III cancer, more extensive surgery is needed toremove the part of the colon that is cancerous.
