so when you take an individual with stage four colon cancer that means that the cancer has left the colon and is now outside of the colon so it's usually in the liver at a minimum potentially in the lungs or in the brain that person's fiveyear survival is very low their 10e survival is zero we will treat them with a very aggressive regimen of multiple drugs and again you'll get a 5e survival of you know maybe 10 to 20% and by 10 years nobody's alive if you take a person with stage three colon cancer so the colon cancer is big and it's even in the lymph nodes around the colon but at least grossly you can't see colon cancer cell you can't see those cells in the liver microscopically of course we know they're there because if you don't treat those patients they still die of colon cancer but you whack them with the same chemo regimen that you were going to give the metastatic patients 80% of those people are alive in five years
