Colon cancer that has spread to the spine is considered metastatic disease or stage IV cancer. The 5 year survival rate for stage IV colon cancer is 5%. This means that on average only 5% of people will live for 5 years with the disease.
Surgical removal of the involved segment of colon (colectomy) along with its blood supply and regional lymph nodes is the primary therapy for colon cancer.

Secondary lung cancer is cancer that starts somewhere else in the body (for example, the breast or colon) and spreads to the lungs.
A hemicolectomy is a colectomy procedure that removes one side of the colon. This is one of the primary treatments for colon cancer.
Secondary lung cancer is cancer that starts somewhere else in the body (for example, the breast or colon) and spreads to the lungs.
There are too many factors that determine life expectancy to say.
These really are questions for the doctor and/or cancer nurse.
WHAT COLON CANCER SIMPTOMS ARE?
its cancer in the colon. sigmoid is part of the colon.
Colon cancer is not classified as either dominant or recessive. Instead, it is considered a complex disease influenced by multiple factors, including genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Genetic Factors: While some cases of colon cancer can be linked to specific genetic mutations that are inherited in a dominant or recessive pattern, many cases are due to a combination of genetic variations that increase the risk of developing the disease. For example, mutations in genes such as APC, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2, and STK11 can increase the risk of hereditary colorectal cancer syndromes, such as familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) or Lynch syndrome (hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer, HNPCC). Environmental and Lifestyle Factors: Environmental factors such as diet, physical activity, smoking, alcohol consumption, and exposure to certain carcinogens can also significantly influence the risk of developing colon cancer. Lifestyle choices and environmental exposures can interact with genetic predispositions to increase or decrease the risk of developing the disease. Complex Inheritance: The inheritance pattern of colon cancer is complex and varies depending on the specific genetic mutations involved. Some mutations may follow an autosomal dominant pattern, where inheriting a single copy of the mutated gene from one parent can increase the risk of developing cancer. In contrast, other mutations may follow a recessive pattern, requiring two copies of the mutated gene (one from each parent) to significantly increase the risk. Therefore, colon cancer is better understood as a multifactorial disease influenced by a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors, rather than being classified as strictly dominant or recessive in inheritance.
