"Colorectal cancer takes its name from the two structures it arises in — the colon and the rectum, which together form the large intestine's final passage. Because the colon spans several anatomically distinct segments — ascending, transverse, descending, and sigmoid — the disease can develop at different points along this tract, each with implications for how it is staged, accessed surgically, and treated."
