Colorectal cancer is malignant cells found in the colon or rectum. The colon and the rectum are parts of the large intestine, which is part of the digestive system. Because colon cancer and rectal cancers have many features in common, they are sometimes referred to together as colorectal cancer. Cancerous tumors found in the colon or rectum also may spread to other parts of the body.
THE COLON: 1  The colon is only a part (the biggest part) of what makes up the large intestine. The colon has 4 parts - ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, and sigmoid colon. 2  So when you use the word colon youâre referring to the large bowel by default since it is part of the large bowel.
