Bowel Cancer Treatment

The most effective treatment for bowel cancer is the surgical removal of the affected part of the bowel. If the disease has spread, then chemotherapy and radio therapy may be used. Sometimes chemotherapy can be used to shrink a localised tumour before surgery to give a better chance of removing all of the affected tissue. If the cancer has spread to the liver or lungs, further surgery by relevant specialists may be needed. If the cancer is not treatable then the patient will be referred to the palliative care team.
