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.
An individual’s health status and dietary or lifestyle habits may also play a role.
