Most often, colon cancer spreads to the liver, but it can also spread to the ovaries, lungs, or brain. Colon cancer tends to spread to the liver first, because all of the blood from the colon drains to the liver before proceeding to the rest of the body.
Almost all colon cancers start in the lining of the colon and rectum. When doctors talk about colorectal cancer, this is usually what they are talking about. There is no single cause of colon cancer. Nearly all colon cancers begin as noncancerous (benign) polyps, which slowly develop into cancer.
