Cancers regardless of where it occurs usually start in one section of the body. If this is not treated, the cells will spread to nearby tissues and this is exactly what happens when you have stage 2 colon cancer.

Stage 2 colon cancer is also known as Duke B colon cancer. There are two types namely 2A and 2B. You are diagnosed to have 2A colon cancer if it has spread beyond the middle tissue layers of the colon wall or has infected around the rectum. You will have 2B if it has gone beyond the peritoneum.

There are many types of cancer and one of them is colon cancer. This disease is highly risky to both women and men, with 130,000 cases being diagnosed each year. From these cases, almost 56,000 people die when Stage IV colon cancer is reached.

The chance of an individual having a cancer depends on both genetic and non-genetic factors. A genetic factor is an unchangeable trait while the non-genetic factors is referred to the people’s environment and can often be changed. You can also get colon cancer through hereditary or genetic factors.
