Colon Cancer

How effective is the combination of chemotherapy and radiation in curing early stages of colon cancer when no surgery is being performed?

 

In the early stages of colon cancer, surgery is usually the main treatment.  Chemotherapy and radiation are often used to shrink the tumor before surgery and after the surgery to kill any reamining cancer cells.   Is there a reason, surgery is not an option?
