Colorectal cancer has one of the best prognosis among cancers in the gastrointestinal tract, provided they are detected early. The most important <strong>prognostic factor</strong> (a.k.a. factor that helps us predict how long the patient will survive) is the stage of the disease at the time of diagnosis. The earliest stage (Stage A) colorectal cancers have a <strong>90% 5-year survival rate</strong>. That means 90% of patients are alive 5 years after the operation. Patients with spread to liver and lung (Stage D) have a <strong>5% 5-year survival rate</strong>. <strong>titoki</strong>, the treatment is tailored to each patient depending on the stage of disease and the way in which it appears. Generally, however, colorectal cancers benefit from surgery to resect the segment of colon/rectum containing the cancer. This is usually followed by chemotherapy, if the cancer is in Stage B or greater. For rectal cancers, sometimes radiotherapy is added, depending on the stage. <strong>motts</strong>, awareness is half the batle won. <strong>nyonya</strong>, colonoscopy for <a href="http://www.ahrq.gov/clinic/3rduspstf/colorectal/colorr.htm" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">screening</a> (this means for apparently normal people without symptoms) is recommended from the age of 50 every ten years.

Hey George, Bernard,

This sounded like even patients with colorectal cancer got HOPE. That probably meant when one first discover it and how worst it is at that stage, I think.

How is the degree of the cancer determined with respect to:
- The number of years it remained undiagnose?
- How many stages of growth are there?
- And as far as total recovery is concern?
