Surgical morbidity in patients with stage 2 colonic cancer who have undergone curative surgery is high. Older and more co-morbid patients have poorer OS. Stages 2B and 2C colon cancer patients have worse prognosis than those with stage 2A regarding recurrence. Future larger data sets are required to determine the role of transmural spread as a prognostic factor.
