To describe one's cancer stage physicians use the TNM Staging System which uses criteria that are similar for different types of cancer except malignancies ...
These cancers, or malignanttumors, are sometimes referred to as colorectal cancer, reflecting the fact that the rectum, the end portion of the colon, can also be affected. Anatomic differences in the rectum as compared to the rest of the colon require that these areas be separately recognized ...
