Colon cancer is a type of cancer that occurs in the large intestine (colon), which is the final part of the digestive tract12.

The small intestine, also called the small bowel, is a long tube that connects the stomach and the large intestine. It is about 20 feet long and is responsible for digesting and absorbing nutrients from the food that enters it. Cancer of the small intestine is much less common than cancer of the large intestine.
