Bowel cancer

I’ve recently had surgery & my results show extramural invasion. I am waiting to see the oncologist. Can anyone help with info on what this means & the risks? 

  • Hello and thanks for your post

    As nurses we do not interpret medical reports as this is not our area of expertise.  Your specialist team are the best people to interpret your results as they are familiar with all your medical information.

    You can read more about bowel cancer staging at this link to our website.

    I hope you know more soon. Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Best wishes,
