Depending on the high risk characteristics in pathology report and if the MisMatchRepair testing has been done, then on the basis of that, the further decision to give chemotherapy or not would be taken.

It is definitely curable in majority of cases. It is a borderline case for giving chemotherapy following surgery. Few patients will benefit while others will not. The need for chemotherapy is decided by doing a test known as MSI or micro satellite instability on the tumour tissue.
