Mayo Clinic Minute: Why millennials should know the warning symptoms of colon cancer
Colon cancer rates continue to be on the rise in younger populations. The colon cancer screening guidelines were lowered from age 50 to 45, in part because of the rise in the incidence of colon cancer in younger adults. But that still leaves people under 45 without screening.
Dr. Johanna Chan, a Mayo Clinic gastroenterologist, says it’s important understand the warning symptoms of colon cancer and to seek medical attention if you experience them.
For the safety of its patients, staff and visitors, Mayo Clinic has strict masking policies in place. Anyone shown without a mask was recorded prior to COVID-19 or recorded in an area not designated for patient care, where social distancing and other safety protocols were followed.
