lalala – It is a "play" on meaning or words with part overlap. The colon includes the right-sided ascending colon, the transverse colon, and left-sided descending colon. Where the colon ends, the rectum begins and continues to the anus. The term "colorectal" includes both the colon and rectum or may be used to cover both parts even though the cancer is in the colon only but loosely called "colorectal."
I believe colorectal cancer is of the colon and rectum.
Yes colorectal cancer & colon cancer are the same thing just some people use different terms to describe it. Colorectal cancer basically covers me areas the colon the rectum & the appendix.
I have had colorectal cancer I wasdiagnosedd at 28 Im 34 now.
