It's usually called Colon or Rectal Cancer. Sometimes "Cancer of the Bowel/-s" in older sources. It's one of the more treatable cancers if caught early, but VERY nasty if it's not.I do believe ass cancer is a thing. It has a specific name I can't be bothered to google right now.

My father had it in his 50s & had about a foot or so of his colon removed. Boy, did he LOVE to show people that scar! he had to go in for testing for a couple of years until he was proclaimed cancer-free. 20 years later, he had Bladder Cancer and survived THAT. He died about 10 years after THAT from a stroke (a month past his 88th birthday) and the autopsy found lung cancer- and he had quit smoking 40 years earlier because he had emphysema.
He was a damn TOUGH old guy.
