Treatment options for colorectal cancer include:
- surgery: removes the parts of the colon that are affected by cancer (possibly along with surrounding tissues)
- radiation: uses beams of energy to kill cancer cells
- medication: destroys cancer cells or encourages the body’s immune system to attack the cancer cells
In many cases, surgery is the main treatment for colorectal cancer. It may be used alone or in combination with radiation or medications, depending on the stage of the disease.
