10. Vomiting

Business Insider

Just like any gastrointestinal problem, colorectal cancer can cause vomiting too. The organs, which are involved in the passing and evacuation of waste material coming from digested food, fail to perform properly no thanks to the obstruction caused by abnormal cancer cells that affect the normal transit of stool within them. This results in gas formation, malabsorption, increased acid production, and reflux, causing a patient to feel ill. When this happens, the body attempts to get rid of the offending agent, and it does that by vomiting or expelling stomach contents. 

The hampering of  the passage of food through the gastrointestinal system, prevents the patient from keeping food down, which eventually leads to vomiting.
