To make and early therapy decision as soon as possible, treatments for colon cancer have been subdivided and described for the patients
The three prevailing cure for colon cancer are surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy
The most common care is surgery colon cancer treatment . A Doctor will use Colonoscope procedure,(a thin tube-like instrument with a light and lens for viewing), it will not require the cutting of abdominal wall, instead, a tube is inserted into the rectum up to the colon and cut the cancer out, if the cancer has been found out at its early stage.  In case of multiple metastases (spread of cancer), resection of the primary tumor is still offered in order to reduce further morbidity caused by tumor bleeding .
Colon cancer treatment by chemotherapy is another way to help kill the cancer cells .  This is used to reduce the probability of metastasis development, contract the tumor size or slow tumor growth . It is regularly implemented after surgery, before surgery, and has been the options for many as primary treatment .
Compared to the patients who had surgery alone and for those who have received after surgery chemotherapy colon cancer treatment, they survived in a short period of time than those who received it where they could not have the recurrence of colon cancer for a stretched period of time.
Cancer cells are killed by using anti-cancer drugs with this type of colon cancer treatment. It could be routed through mouth, or into a vein or muscle of a body by inserting a needle . Chemotherapy of systemic type involves the bloodstream and kill cancer cells throughout the body.

From the two, radiation therapy colon cancer treatment is not used routinely in colon cancer because it is difficult to locate specific portions of the colon . It is employed to treat pain caused by colon cancer by aiming at metastatic tumor deposits.
Cancer diagnosis often results a big change from the person’s psychological being . For the person’s adjustment to his medical condition with the other parts of his life, together with these treatments, cancer support resources and support groups can be accessed from hospitals and other agencies that offer counseling that can help the patient.
