Pain needs an answer: In general, unexplained pain warrants an explanation, ie a diagnosis. Seek help from an internist, GI or surgeon, depending on severity.

Incomplete informati: "stomach aches" is a vague complaint due to many intra-abdominal pathologies and colon cancer would not be high on the list. A physical examination, lab tests, and imaging may be needed to determine the cause.
