Science News: More people under 50 getting colorectal cancer

I was never a joiner, why'd my stupid body think this was where the cool cats were at?

Science News: Why are more people under 50 getting colorectal cancer? Scientists have some clues


From the comments

James Petrosky: The tldr is that they're recommending1 you talk to your doctor if you've got two of the following2:

  • Abdominal pain
  • Rectal bleeding
  • Diarrhea
  • Iron-deficiency anemia

I had pain and diarrhea, but the pain came much too late, and my digestive system has always been a bit unideal so I never thought much of it.


  1. You should read the article yourself and not rely on my summary. 

  2. I know how hard it can be to get someone to take your symptoms seriously, when doctors do that it costs lives.
