Colon Cancer: Symptoms

Dr. Eduardo Ruan, Gastroenterologist with Baptist Health South Florida, says colon cancer in early stages is asymptomatic, you will feel nothing, and when you have polyps, they don't give any symptoms either. He explains when symptoms present, it is usually when colon cancer is advanced, and the main symptoms are rectal bleeding, abdominal pain, changes of the bowel pattern, weight loss, iron deficiency, and anemia.
