I don’t know what exactly you are asking, but I am assuming you are asking about treatments and diagnostic practices. The treatments are the same, colon resection, chemo, radiation, and the like, but the diagnostic practices are evolving drastically. In addition to the wonderful colonoscopy, there are new genetic tests available. You can have blood tests and genetic counseling done to see if you have the gene that is a marker for colon cancer. If you have the gene (or don’t for that matter), it doesn’t mean that you have or don’t have cancer, just that you are much more likely to get it.
