Information on mucinous adenocarcinoma of the colon
Good morning
My mother underwent surgery to remove cancer in the sigmoid colon, and after conducting a pathological analysis, it was found that it was stage III mucinous adenocarcinoma, because there were 2 affected lymph nodes.
Does anyone have information about this type of cancer?
treatment protocol
Thank you very much

1 ReactionWelcome, @elomda19. It may not seem like it right now, but it is helpful that your mom's cancer team knows that her cancer is a specific type - mucinous adenocarcinoma of the colon (MAC). This may help determine treatment protocols that are more effective, although mostly the treatment approaches are similar to colorectal cancer. You can read more in this article:

I'm tagging @mistyl and @karen43, who also have mucinous adenocarcinoma albeit of the lung. They may be able to offer some tips and insights, as well as support.
Has your mom's cancer team suggested a treatment plan post surgery?
