What is metastatic colorectal carcinoma?
Colorectal cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the colon (the longest part of the large intestine) or rectum (the last several inches of the large intestine). Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is cancer that has spread from the colon or rectum to other parts of the body such as the liver, lungs, or bones.
