COLON CANCER
Recently I have done with surgery called sigmoid colon resection. We got the biopsy report which stating that WELL DIFFERENTIATED MUCIN SECRETING ADENOCARCINOMA OF COLON. When we spoke to doctor said that this is a firat stage of cancer and its curable. Biopsy states there is no evidence of metastatic deposit at urinary bladder, mesocolon and lymphnodes.
Sections studied show an infiltrating well differentiated mucin secreting denocarcinoma. The tumor exhibits predominately glandular pattern and extends into the muscularis propria. There is an evidence of 2ndary inflammation and no lymphvascular emboli noted. The adjacent colon shows chronic nonspecific colitis changes.
Cut mrgins:Both proximal and distal cut margins are free from tumor infiltration.
I want to know is this 1st stage and is there any life risks? Please help me to understand and thanks in advance.
