neoplastic growth/neoplasm
I think this is most likely - see link for explanation. Most likely cancer but the terms 'cancer' and 'neoplastic growth' are not quite synonymous.

colon neoplasia/neoplasm
or even "colon cancer (Cancer du colon).
Neoplasia (new growth in Greek) is abnormal proliferation of cells in a tissue or organ. A neoplastic growth is called a neoplasm.
If the text is about diseases in general, I would use "neoplasia", if about a particular patient's tumor I would use "neoplasm".
