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.
A: The colon, or large intestine, is about 5 feet long in humans. The large intestine is the last segment of the digestive system, which is 30 feet in total length. The small intestine, at 20 feet in length, is the longest section of the digestive system.
