Some of the symptoms of colorectal cancer occur early, which can lead to diagnosis. Others occur once the disease has progressed past the early stages. These symptoms include:
- Blood in the stool
- Constipation or diarrhea
- Fatigue
- Frequent bloating, cramps, fullness, or gas
- Sensation that the bowel isn’t completely empty
- Sudden change in bowel habits or stool
- Unexplained weight loss
Because symptoms may not occur until colorectal cancer is advanced and more difficult to treat, it is important to get a screening test, such as a colonoscopy, starting at age 50.
