It\u2019s even easier to screen for colon cancer thanks to modern screening methods, such as using an at-home colorectal cancer test kit. You can now test discreetly and follow up with a provider from the comfort of your own home.\u00a0<b><\/b><\/p>\n<h3>Colon Cancer Overview<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/cancer\/colorectal\/basic_info\/what-is-colorectal-cancer.htm#:~:text=Colorectal%20cancer%20is%20a%20disease,large%20intestine%20or%20large%20bowel\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colon cancer<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> occurs when cells in the colon or rectum grow abnormally. Sometimes this excess cell growth forms polyps in the colon or rectum. Colon or rectal polyps can be benign, or they can become cancerous.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colon cancer is in the top five most commonly diagnosed cancers for both men and women. Fortunately, colon cancer is highly treatable when caught early.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Routine screening helps to identify polyps so they can be removed before they cause problems. Screening also helps to identify colon cancer while it\u2019s in the early stages. The earlier colon cancer is identified, the better your odds of successful treatment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Colon Cancer Symptoms<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/cancer\/colorectal\/basic_info\/symptoms.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">signs and symptoms<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of colon cancer depend on the location and progression of the disease. Polyps do not always cause symptoms. This means you could have polyps and not realize it until you\u2019ve been screened.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People who experience noticeable symptoms are most likely to notice a change in their bowel habits. For example, you might experience diarrhea, constipation, or a change in the consistency of your stool.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colon cancer symptoms include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Change in bowel habits, such as diarrhea or constipation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rectal bleeding or blood in your stool<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Persistent abdominal discomfort, pain, aches, or cramps<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feeling unable to completely empty your bowels<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unexplained weight loss\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weakness or fatigue<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Who is at Risk for Colon Cancer?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your risk for colon cancer increases with age.
