Diagnosis

If screening tests are abnormal your WellStar physician will perform further evaluations looking for evidence of colon cancer.

Colon Cancer Stages

When colon cancer is diagnosed, your WellStar physician will categorize it by the current stage. Each stage describes the progression of the disease and whether the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. You should talk to your WellStar physician to understand each stage, and what it means for your treatment plan.
