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.
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.
