Question: Does anyone know where I can find detailed age prevalency statistics for colon cancer? I am a 25 year old male and have an appointment with a GI Doc next Thursday. I have had a few symptoms that are consistent with colon cancer. I am aware that CC in someone my age is rare ... with 90% of cases happening in individuals over age 50 and only 3% occuring in those under 40. However, for some peace of mind while I wait for my appointment, can anyone point me towards fairly detailed age statistics on colon cancer. Particularly, I am interested in finding out more about the likelihood of at 25 year old male with no family history developing colon cancer.
thanks
Answer: Statistics are not a good indicator for whether you have cancer or not, especially if you end up being in that smaller statistic. Yes, a 25 year old male without a family history of colon cancer can have colon cancer. The important thing is that you are going to be seen by a doctor and evaluated. No one else can really tell you any more than that.
