Colon cancer can affect both men and women and one should be aware that it is the second
leading cause of cancer death in both men and women together after that of lung cancer.
One should be aware that men have a slightly worse prognosis than women, but on a whole
one can say that for stage for stage, the prognosis is the same for men and women and
certainly the workup, the treatment should be done exactly the same for both men and
women. Again, colon cancer average age in United States is 70 years old and it is exact
same for both men as well as for women.
