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.
Patients have a worse prognosis if the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes or distant organs, has invaded blood and lymphatic vessels, or is poorly differentiated. Colorectal cancer is called a metastatic disease when the cancer has spread from the colon or the rectum to another part of the body. Colorectal cancer most commonly spreads to the liver or the lungs.
