Abstract

Dorset Cancer Centre, Poole. Treatment choice for patients with colorectal cancer will depend on the stage of disease and the patient's prognosis at the time of presentation. The primary treatment for potentially curable cancer is surgical resection. Radiotherapy is often used in conjunction with surgery, while chemotherapy may be used in all stages of the disease.
