Can a 19 year old have colon cancer?

Yes: Unfortunately, the answer is yes. Most times they are inherited forms of cancer as part of an adenomatous polyposis syndrome (apc), lynch syndrome, li fraumani syndrome, etc. Other types of cancer (neuroendocrine tumors or soft tissue tumors) can also be seen, but are not as common.
