Colon cancer..: Burning epigastric pain 90 min-3 hours after meals relieved by food is probably the most distinguishing symptom of peptic ulcer from colon cancer. Other symptoms, like weight loss, blood in stool can be seen in both. Altered bowel habits and anemia are other symptoms/signs found in colon cancer.
