Treatment of Stage 0 Colon Cancer
Treatment of Stage 0 colon cancer (carcinoma in situ) may include the following types of surgery:
· Local excision, which is surgery to remove the colon cancer without cutting through the abdominal wall.
· A polypectomy, which is surgery to remove the colon cancer from the bulging piece of tissue.
· Resection/anastomosis, which is surgery that removes the colon cancer by taking out a section of the colon and rejoining the cut ends of the colon. This procedure is done when the cancerous tissue is too large to remove by local excision.
