“Can colon resection fix colon cancer?”

It depends on what you mean by "fix," but here's what I'll offer. Yes if you have a appropriate staged colon cancer, one of the main modalities of therapy for this curable disease is colon resection. Surgery can also be done for terminal colon cancer but to alleviate blockage and ease discomfort and help palliate symptoms. There's a lot of ways a colon cancer case may go. There could be a role for chemotherapy too. Ultimately this is such a unique case that is specific to each person's cancer, type of cancer, location, and stage. There is no simple answer. When you say "fix" if you mean cure the cancer, then yes sometimes surgery to remove that mass is part of the curative plan. If you mean "fix" as in alleviate the obstruction, then yes, many times surgery is needed for that. However I have to cautious, as some cancers can't be "fixed" and only measures to buy time and or comfort are feasible. But colon cancer is in the highly treatable arm of cancers these days so many patients have a good chance at presentation for getting "fixed" one way or another. Do talk to your surgeon for specifics about your case. My best advice is make sure you have a colon surgeon that does a lot of cancer work, and ideally works at a center where they do "tumor board" meetings. That's when a team of physicians like the medical oncologist, the surgical oncologist/or colon-rectal surgeon, radiation oncology and other team members meet to discuss each case and decide the best treatment and order of steps to take for the best outcome. I don't do colon cancer surgery these days, but I hope that helps!

Yes

Removing a part of the colon with cancer can cure colon cancer in early stages. However, no matter what the stage there is always a risk of recurrence and metastatic disease.

Colon cancer is treatable by surgical resection. If a low stage is confirmed on the pathology report, then a cure is at times achieved. If a higher stage is shown, then chemotherapy is needed if you are a good candidate, as determined by an oncologist. Wesley Marquart, MD, DABS

Yes it can cure you.

Absolutely! That is the treatment for stage I colon cancer. Best regards, R. Constantine

Stage 1 colon cancer by definition had not spread beyond the lining of the colon. Approximately 90% of patients are cured with surgery alone and will not experience a cancer recurrence.

It depends on how early the stage of the colon cancer is. Yout Tube and Wikipedia cure rates.

Yes, for stage 1 then the surgery should be curative.
