Bowel cancer (also known as colorectal cancer) is a cancer of the colon or rectum. When your doctor talks about bowel cancer (also known as colorectal cancer) they are referring to cancer of the colon or rectum. Bowel cancer is a malignant growth that develops most commonly in the lining of the large bowel. Most bowel cancers develop from tiny growths called 'polyps'. Not all polyps become cancerous. Over time some polyps can become cancerous.
Colorectal cancer is a cancer that develops from the cells of the large intestine. The large intestine consists of the colon and rectum. The rectum comprises the last 15 cm of the large intestine and lies within the pelvis, which consists of the hip bones. This is a very small area and the distance between the cancer and the surrounding normal organs is very short. Hence, the chance of the cancer spreading to neighbouring organs in the pelvis is significantly high. The colon forms the rest of the large intestine that lies above the level of the hips.
