The white blood cell (WBC) count is unrelated to colon cancer risk or presence. Colon cancer can be screened for by a variety of tests including stool blood (fob), stool dna, colonoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy, and virtual colonoscopy. See your md for screening recommendations individualized to you. If you have symptoms that is not screening, but diagnostic.

Question 4

Does a intestinal or colon cancer show in a blood test thru the wbc ? and if there is no bleeding is it possible to be cancer?

Not all cancers bleed, and elevated or low WBC count is not specific for colon cancer. If undiagnosed, it will obstruct the flow of fecal material and or bleed, once it gets to a larger size.

Bleeding with resultant decrease in Hgb. and Hct. is the most prominent change. There is no overall pattern that says "colon cancer"

Question 8

Hi i have mucus after bm on and off and loose stools once a week. worried about colon cancer. should i worry?

Accepted Answer

It is highly unlikely that you have colon cancer. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex.

Question 9

I moved my bowels and when i wiped i saw a little blood the stool was huge though. 41 worried no family hist of colon cancer.

Accepted Answer

First, it's always advisable to let a doctor know if you have blood in your stool. That being said, what you describe is most likely some minor bleeding from a hemorrhoid that was disrupted by the large stool.  This can cause a small amount of bright red blood on toilet paper. Keep your stools smaller and softer by drinking more water and have your doctor take a look, but don't worry!

Question 10

Im a 38 male just a question im worried that i could have colon cancer i fart a lot and sometimes my stools are thin? could it be?

Accepted Answer

Flatulogenic foods and your overall diet are most likely the cause of gas and thin stools. The risk of colon cancer increases as people age, but can occasionally occur in young adults and teenagers. The vast majority of cases occur in people older than 50.
