Metastatic colon cancer (also know as metastatic colorectal cancer) is cancer of the colon that has spread to another area of the body. Being diagnosed with metastatic colon cancer is a frightening event, but there is hope, and you do have options. Today, there are a number of conventional and complementary therapies available to treat metastatic colon cancer.
Whether you have been recently diagnosed, or have received treatment that has not met your needs, Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) may be able to help.

Metastatic Colon Cancer: Our Treatment Approach
Unlike many other facilities, CTCA offers an integrative approach to metastatic colon cancer treatment that combines conventional treatments, such as surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, with complementary therapies. CTCA is also a leader in developing innovative new ways to deliver conventional metastatic colon cancer treatments. For example, CTCA offers fractionated dose chemotherapy, which differs from traditional chemotherapy in that smaller doses are delivered over a period of days. This exposes the cancer cells to the drugs for a longer period of time while reducing some of the side effects of chemotherapy.
Fractionated dose chemotherapy is just one of the metastatic colon cancer treatments available at CTCA, and may not be right for everyone. At CTCA, you are at the center of your treatment team. We are committed to giving you the information and resources you need to take an active part in your metastatic colon cancer treatment plan. Your treatment plan may also include complementary and alternative therapies such as nutritional therapy, pain management, spiritual support, naturopathic medicine, and others.
