See below: The colon is part of the gastrointestinal tract. The colon is also referred to as the large intestine. The small intestine is the bowels between the stomach and the colon. "small intestine cancer" refers to cancer of the small bowels which includes the duodenum, jejunum and ileum. The term "intestinal cancer" may be used loosely to mean "small intestine cancer.".

Can be the same: The intestines are a group of structures including stomach, small intestine and large intestine (which is the colon). Cancers can form in any of these sites, but large intestine (colon) cancer is most common. So colon cancer is a type of intestinal cancer.

Sort of same: All colon (large intestine) cancers are intestinal cancers but not all intestinal cancers are colon cancer (you can also get small intestine cancer).
