Colorectal cancer treatment
There is 2cm wide and 7cm long cancer tumor present along the colon wall with few near by lymp nodes also increased in size. Biopsy and petct confirmed it as cancer in colon and nearby lymph nodes. We started with chemo+radio, capegard 500 3tablets twice daily, radiation 28fractions. Doctors have said they will reasses after chemo and radio is over.
1. My question is can we just remove the colon tumor with colonoscopy forceps since patient is getting feeling to go again and again to pass stool? Or
2.do we need to remove the cancerous part of colon and rejoin as it is usually done? Also
3. if surgery needs to be first or chemo+radio as we are doing?

It's colon cancer or colorectal?
Colonoscopic removal is not possible in this tumor.
Treatment sequence depends upon stage and location of tumor.
