Difference between right sided and left sided colon cancer?
Right sided colon cancer takes place in the ascending and transverse colon, as left sided colon cancer is found in the descending and sigmoid colon.

These tumors show more K-RAS mutations and microsatellite instability. Overall survival is lower in right sided colon cancer.
Left sided colon cancer tend to cause more obstructive problems, often develop from polyps in early stages and tend to become metastatic to lung and liver sites.
