Research Notes on Colon Cancer Symptoms
Colon cancer, also known as colorectal cancer or large bowel cancer, is the third most common form of cancer in men, and in white and African American women in the United States. Colon cancer typically does not present any symptoms in its early stages. Signs and symptoms appear later, when the cancer is not easily treatable. These include pain in the belly, blood in the stool or very dark stools, change in bowel habits, fatigue, and in some cases, unexplained weight loss. However, having these symptoms does not mean one has cancer, since these can also be symptoms of other medical conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome or ulcers of the rectum.
