What are the chances of a for the most part healthy 16 year old female with no family history of cancer getting colon cancer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not worth a worry: Colon Cancer typically occurs in middle aged and older folks.It is extremely rare under 30 years of age. So you need not worry about it unless you develop some serious symptoms which may then require a visit to your doctor.
