Can colon cancer be cured at its early stages?

I was diagnosed with stage one colon cancer. Can colon cancer be cured at its early stages?

Yes.
Stage 1 more than 90% with surgery alone
Stage2 (not T4) 90% with surgery alone
Stage 3 (not T4 or N+) 70-80% with surgery and chemo.
yes, but "cure" is not the goal. Sustained control and remission life long are better ways to describe durable treat.
