When stage 4 colon cancer spread to her liver, Peggy was given months to live. That was 13 years ago. Coordinated surgery, chemo and immunotherapy are improving survival for patients with stage 4 colon cancer that has spread to the liver.

Given just six weeks to live after a Stage 4 colon cancer diagnosis, Peggy Martin is now celebrating 13 years of survival. A clinical trial and coordinated care made all the difference. www.uchealth.org/today/stage-... #TCSC #ColonCancer #CancerSurvivor #ClinicalTrials #HopeForCancer #Stage4

Young adults and colon cancer: signs, risk and how to protect yourself Why are more young adults being diagnosed with colorectal cancer? Picture this: you’re 40, busy with work and family, and you start noticing a little blood “in the toilet.” Someone says, “It’s probably hemorrhoids,” you get a cream, and life goes on. Months later, you finally get a colonoscopy, and the word cancer walks into the room with you. That’s a scene I’m seeing more and more often in clinic. Globally, colorectal cancer is now the third most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death (He et al., 2025; Chen et al., 2025; Bray et al., 2024).

¿40 y ves sangre “en el baño”? No lo normalices: puede ser hemorroides… o una señal de cáncer colorrectal. / Blood in stool at 40? Don’t assume hemorrhoids—know the red flags + when to screen. Artículo EN/ES: drdandotesalud.com
