I don't know the exact likliness, but let me tell you this: My Mom's friend had Colon cancer - and she's 100% clean now.

it really depends on the stage, the kind of tumor and also the overall health status of the patient. surgeries + chemotherapy may enhance the chances of survival. so it's difficult to tell you any figures here, sry.

My dad had it but it was detected in it's early stages. They removed the cancerous cells and he is very much alive and kicking. Hopefully it hasn't spread too severely in your friends case.
