What is the difference between colon and anal cancer?
Anal cancer and colon cancer are not exactly the same thing. Colon cancer occurs in the colon, also known as the large intestine. It usually occurs as the result of malignant (cancer) degeneration of a precancerous lesion known as a polyp. Anal cancer occurs in the anal canal. A different type of cell lines the anal canal and thus, it is a different type of cancer. They metastasize (spread) differently and are treated in somewhat different ways depending on the cell type involved.
Where does colon cancer usually first metastasize?
As the malignant cells work their way to other areas of the body, they again become locally invasive in the new area to which they have spread. These tumor deposits, originating in the colon primary tumor, are then known as metastases.

Can colon cancer spread to the bladder?
As a general rule of oncology, any cancer can metastasize to any other part of the body. With colon cancer, the chance of the growth spreading to the bladder is not as significant as other cancers, but it is a notable risk nonetheless. The most common avenue for cancer metastasis is through the bloodstream. Since the colon and bladder do not share an explicitly direct blood path, the risk of this spreading is lessened.
