Hello, In stage II colon cancer, cancer may have gone to nearby tissues, but they may have not spread to the lymph nodes. The treatment options for colon cancer in stage II depends upon various factors such as:

1. Size of the tumor
2. How far the tumor has spread
3. The overall health of the patient

However, we have listed below the treatment options for stage II colon cancer which may be as follows:

1. Surgery: to remove the section of the colon containing cancer (partial colectomy) along with nearby lymph nodes may be the only treatment needed.
2. Chemotherapy: But you brother may also need adjuvant chemotherapy (chemo after surgery) if there is a higher risk of cancer coming back because of certain factors such as:

• Cancer looks very abnormal (is high grade) when viewed under a microscope.
• Cancer has grown into nearby blood or lymph nodes.
• The surgeon could not remove at least 12 lymph nodes due to some risk factors.
• Cancer was found in or near the margin (edge) of the removed tissue, meaning that some cancer may have been left behind.
• Cancer has obstructed the colon.
• Cancer caused a hole in the wall of the colon.
