Caution! Colon cancer risk is increasing among young people, know its early symptoms


New delhi date. 21 March 2023 Tuesday

Colon cancer gradually spreads to the stomach. Mostly this cancer is seen in the elderly but now this cancer is also increasing in the youth. Colorectal cancer is often thought to affect older people. However, according to a recently published study by the American Cancer Society, one in five people under the age of 55 are at increased risk of colon cancer. It is not entirely clear what causes this cancer.

Who is most at risk?

About one-third of colorectal cancers are caused by genetic problems. While overweight increases the risk of colorectal cancer, only 5 percent of colorectal cancers are caused by excess body weight. Apart from this, overweight is also mainly associated with tumors on the right side of the colon.

How to influence

All of these factors affect the microbiome. Colorectal cancer begins when healthy cells in the lining of the colon change and grow out of control, forming tumors. If cancer is detected early, the survival rate is 90 percent. It is important for patients to carefully investigate symptoms and signs such as rectal bleeding and iron deficiency, to be aware that undiagnosed colorectal cancer is not the cause. The most common symptom of colorectal cancer in young patients is abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss, and rectal bleeding.

Don't take symptoms for granted

Professor and vice chair of medicine at Harvard Medical School, says it's easy for young people to believe they're perfectly healthy, but it can often be difficult to ignore certain problems. So not to ignore these signs of colon cancer for a long time, it should be checked by a doctor on time.
