Colorectal cancer can be divided into two main types: colon cancer and rectal cancer. Colon cancer involves cancers of the large bowel, while rectal cancer involves cancers of the rectum (your back passage).
The type of colorectal cancer surgery you have will depend on where your cancer is located and how advanced it is.
