How common is colon cancer in young adults?

Any blood should be discussed with your doctor asap. Probably just hemorrhoids but if not,delaying that doctor visit by even a week can be a death sentence.

Cut Back on hard chips,coffee,beer,hard liquor,and eat right and you will get better.May be from staining on the toilet.Eat more because if you do not put some thing in nothing comes out and you will be just pooping your self.

Over 80% of colon cancers occur in people over the age of 60, so not very common in young people.

Bleeding is more often caused by something other than cancer ? most frequently, hemorrhoids.

Different types of cancer happen at different ages . . and colon cancer happens to be a type of cancer that occurs in older adults and not in young adults. The exception would be an uncommon hereditary type of colon cancer . . if your mother or father have died or have colon cancer and other members of your family have had colon cancer than there is a higher risk for you to develop colon cancer at some point in time . . other than that it is not common at all for young adults to get organ related cancers such as colon, breast, or lung cancer. Those are all cancers that occur as you age and the older you get the higher the risk. Young adults can get cancer . . but it is usually leukemia, lymphoma, sarcoma, brain tumor, testicular or ovarian, or melanoma related . . rarely will they get an older adult type cancer.
