Treatment Options for Colon Cancer

Surgical Oncology

Our surgical oncologists perform precision tumour resection with oncoplastic reconstruction when appropriate. Surgical options may include:

• Right hemicolectomy (ileocolic resection) with D3 lymph node dissection for caecal/right colon cancers
• Left hemicolectomy with D3 dissection for left colon cancers
• Sigmoid colectomy or high anterior resection with total mesorectal excision (TME) for rectal cancers

Chemotherapy

Evidence-based chemotherapy regimens tailored to your cancer subtype and stage:

• FOLFOX: 5-Fluorouracil + Leucovorin + Oxaliplatin 85 mg/m² in 2-week cycles for stage III
• XELOX: Capecitabine 1000 mg BD for 14 days + Oxaliplatin 130 mg/m² every 3 weeks

Radiation Therapy

Neoadjuvant long-course radiotherapy for T3-T4 or N+ rectal cancers: 50 Gy in 25 fractions over 5 weeks Short-course radiotherapy: 25 Gy in 5 fractions with surgery within 1 week…

Targeted Therapy

For patients with specific molecular mutations, targeted agents offer precision treatment with fewer side effects. Available options include Bevacizumab 5 mg/kg IV every 2 weeks for mCRC (KRAS wild-type or any status).

Immunotherapy

Checkpoint inhibitors activate your immune system to fight cancer cells. Our team uses Pembrolizumab for MMR-deficient/MSI-high colorectal cancer for appropriate patients.

Your treatment plan will be individualised based on your cancer stage, molecular profile, performance status, and personal preferences. Tumour boards at major centres review all cases to ensure comprehensive, evidence-based care.

Treatment Cost for Colon Cancer

Costs vary based on cancer stage, treatment complexity, and hospital type. Below are typical ranges for treatment components in Indian hospitals.

Costs are indicative ranges. Government schemes like Ayushman Bharat (PMJAY) cover up to ₹5 lakhs per family annually. Contact your hospital for a detailed written estimate based on your specific diagnosis and treatment plan.

Symptoms and Early Detection

Early detection of cancer significantly improves treatment outcomes. If you experience any of the following symptoms for more than two weeks, consult your doctor for evaluation.

1. Blood in stool (bright red or dark/tarry)
2. Change in bowel habits (constipation, diarrhoea, or narrowed stools lasting >4 weeks)
3. Persistent abdominal discomfort (cramps, gas, bloating, pain)
4. Feeling that bowel does not empty completely
5. Unexplained weight loss and fatigue
6. Anaemia-related symptoms (weakness, shortness of breath)

Screening Guidelines

Colonoscopy: Adults aged 45-50+ years without symptoms; every 10 years if normal; sooner if positive screening tests

Many cancers are detected at earlier stages through regular screening in asymptomatic individuals at risk. Speak with your healthcare provider about recommended screening protocols based on your age, family history, and risk factors.
