Colorectal Cancer, Metastatic or Recurrent - What Increases Your Risk

What Increases Your Risk

Even after successful treatment, colorectal cancer comes back (recurs) about half the time.² But this depends on the stage of the cancer before treatment. For example, if colorectal cancer is removed while it is still contained within the colon and has not spread, your risk of developing metastatic or recurrent colorectal cancer is less.
