Untreated Colon Cancer

It depends on the stage of colon cancer.
In stage 0, it takes 5 to 7 years for polyps to develop into cancer.
In stage I and II, usually another 5 years but can be treated
In Stage III cancer has affected other organs in the colon and life expectancy could slide down to 1 or 2 at most, depending on the health of the patient
In stage IV, cancer has spread to the liver, kidneys, lungs and became unusable. Doctors usually do 3 to 6 months max before death.
On the other hand, taking 1 drug life expectancy of 6 months are rised from 10 to 12 months with 2 drugs, it ranges from 14 to 16 months and 3 drugs, more than 20 months.
Another way to express is:
survival rate at 5 years
stage I, 93%
stage II from 72 to 85%
stage III from 44 to 83%
stage IV, only 8%
with 2 drugs, it becomes

There are different types of cancer that develop at different rates.

And it also varies from individual to individual. Nobody can predict how long it will take to die --- cancer often goes to other parts of the body, too.

I had a friend who developed breast cancer. Her doctor said it was a type of cancer that is usually found in lungs. (She was healed, by the way). Thus, the types of cancer can vary --- There are several types of cancers that can attack any part of the body.

It depends on what stage the cancer is in. Is it "incurable" or simply not to be treated? If his early, I would certainly try to treat it. Anyway, I knew someone who had colon cancer, and she lived another 12 years. Hers was not very advanced, when the doctor found.
