Answer:

Stage IV - There is a primary tumor, lymph node involvement and metastases.

Explanation:

Staging is the extent of spread of tumor within the patient.

The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) divides all cancers into Stages 0 - IV, incorporating into each stage several TNM (tumor/node/metastasis) stages usually with the same prognosis.  

Staging is essential in determining the patient prognosis.

The approximate 5-year survival rate for colorectal cancer patients of all stages is 64.4% (In the United States) and survival is inversely related to stage.

Surgery usually provides the only curative option for patients diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer.

DNA supercoiling means under or over winding of the DNA strand and basically is to become more condensed and more organized. Supercoiling is very important as it compacts the genetic code and as if that was not enough supercoiling also regulates and oversees the access the the genetic code.
