rectum

Explanation:
the 'endeldarm' is called the rectum in English. Cancer in the rectum is called rectal cancer (http://cancerweb.ncl.ac.uk/cancernet/200076.html). The 'dikke darm' is called colon and therefore that is called colon cancer (http://cancerweb.ncl.ac.uk/cancernet/200008.html). Hope that helps you.
