A UCLA Health answered. Colon cancer can cause a person to feel tired or weak, lose weight, and have general discomfort in their digestive system and bowel movements. In the later stages of colon cancer, the cancer can spread beyond the rectum into other parts of the body. In stage III colon cancer, the lymph nodes that reside nearby are infected. In the final stage of colon cancer, stage IV, the cancer has spread to other organs, such as the liver or lungs.
Colon cancer is divided into 5 stages, from stage 0 to stage 4. Stage 4 colon cancer (earlier known as Dukeâs D colon cancer) is the last stage of this cancer. At this stage of the cancer, the cancer is said to have spread to other parts of the body, specifically the lungs, liver, and lymph nodes. Abdominal discomfort: Pain, cramping, bloating, nausea and gas may be felt by those with colon cancer. 2  Jaundice: Since the colon cancer has normally spread to the liver by stage 4, jaundice is also a symptom. 3  Other symptoms include unexplained fever, weight loss, fatigue, thrombosis.
