TL;DR Summary

A study in JAMA Network Open reveals that younger adults under 40 are increasingly being diagnosed with colon cancer, often missing early signs like blood in stool, abdominal pain, and changes in bowel movements. Delays in detection, averaging six months, lead to more advanced disease at diagnosis. Colon cancer rates are rising among younger adults but declining in older adults due to more frequent screenings.
