This is the last stage of the cancer, if it spreads too much and there are too many tumor cells in the body. It 'also called colon cancer or stage IV metastatic colon cancer.
If doctors detect cancerUsually recommend immediate surgery, for the portion of the colon, where the tumor has grown to be removed.

If other than a single organ, spread from the colon then the treatment has a higher probability of success, because it is true that individual pages can be addressed. The most common place where colon cancer spreads is the liver cancer, and sometimes the lungs.
The problem is that most patients with bowel cancer has spread to many other sites, and treatmentcan not be directed at a single location.
The best treatment option in this situation is chemotherapy. The chemotherapy is injected directly into the blood certain substances which have the ability to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy has severe side effects, such as hair loss, fatigue, lack of appetite, fever, and many others.
