  • New research has identified key symptoms linked to an increased risk of early-onset colorectal cancer in younger adults. 
  • Symptoms to watch for include abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, diarrhea, and iron deficiency anemia. 
  • Risk factors for colon cancer may include a history of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), personal or family history of colorectal polyps, or a genetic predisposition.
