Question

I have neuroendocrine tumor rectal colon cancer and have already gone through 25 rounds of chemo radiation with capacitabine tablets plus photon radiation, along with 4 cycles of carboplatin and etoposide chemo. Will I need surgery for this? Is this type of cancer fully curable can I expect to recover completely and be disease-free?

My mom just had an excision biopsy where they removed a lump, and the report says it's invasive duct carcinoma with an extensive in situ duct carcinoma component. They mentioned the resection margins are clear and the closest margin is 5mm from the tumor. They suggested clinicoradiological and surgical correlation.
