Colorectal cancer is cancer that forms in the colon or the rectum, often beginning as a growth called a polyp.
Colorectal cancer is cancer that forms in the tissues of the colon or the rectum. It often begins as a growth called a polyp on the inner surface of the colon or rectum. Because colon and rectal cancers have many features in common, they are frequently grouped together as colorectal cancer.
Most often staged with the AJCC TNM system (tumor, node, metastasis).
