If colon cancer spreads: Where in the body can metastases occur and how is it treated?. Even if secondary tumors have already formed in other organs, healing is still possible.
Chemotherapy is the treatment of choice as soon as several tumor foci appear in different locations. Surgery to surgically remove the liver metastases is considered if the doctor is able to completely remove the tumors. If the metastases are on the surface of the lung, surgery can usually be carried out using minimally invasive keyhole surgery.
