Does stage 2a colon cancer basically not affect life expectancy?

Stage 2A colon cancer does not basically have no impact on life expectancy. This disease is relatively serious. In order to prevent the disease from further developing, you need to seek medical attention in time and cooperate with the doctor's treatment.

Colon cancer is relatively common in clinical practice. The cause of the disease may be related to genetic factors or poor eating habits. After the disease occurs, various clinical symptoms such as diarrhea and abdominal pain may occur. Stage 2A colon cancer means that cancer cells have invaded the muscle layer of the intestinal wall, but no lymph node metastasis or distant metastasis has been found. This indicates that the disease may have entered the early and middle stages. At this time, the 5-year survival rate is relatively high, about 80%, but the survival rate is not close to or reaches 100%, so the statement that it basically does not affect life expectancy is incorrect.

In order to prevent the disease from getting worse, patients can be treated with right hemicolectomy, left hemicolectomy and other surgical methods under the guidance of doctors. During the treatment period, patients should also pay attention to maintaining a good mood and avoid excessive tension and anxiety.
