Removing the part of the colon containing the cancer along with its blood supply and lymph nodes, then joining the ends.
Answer a few questions from a report and read the guideline statement that applies, quoted word for word with its source. Educational aids to prepare for an appointment, not advice.
Right or left hemicolectomy removes the affected half of the colon; the bowel is usually reconnected without a permanent stoma. Laparoscopic colectomy is oncologically equivalent to open surgery (COST, CLASICC). At least 12 nodes should be examined for accurate staging; adjuvant FOLFOX or CAPOX follows for stage III and high-risk stage II, increasingly guided by ctDNA (DYNAMIC, CIRCULATE). Rectal cancer uses different operations (total mesorectal excision, abdominoperineal resection).
