1. Surgical treatment: It is the best treatment for colon cancer. Patients who are suitable for surgery should undergo surgical resection as soon as possible.

2. Chemotherapy: After radical resection of colorectal cancer, 50% of cases still have recurrence and metastasis, so preoperative and postoperative chemotherapy may improve the 5-year survival rate after radical resection. Fluorouracil is the first choice of anticancer drugs, followed by mitomycin and doxorubicin.

3. Radiotherapy: Preoperative radiotherapy can shrink the tumor and increase the resection rate, while postoperative radiotherapy can kill the remaining tumor cells. Radiotherapy alone is only used in advanced rectal cancer cases, and has the effects of hemostasis, analgesia, and prolonging survival. This is the treatment method for colon cancer.

4. Endoscopic treatment: For early mucosal cancer, endoscopic resection can be performed. For advanced tumors, stents can be placed under endoscopy to prevent stenosis and obstruction.

5. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment: It can be used as an auxiliary and supportive treatment for colon cancer, improving symptoms and prolonging survival.
