What are more rarer causes of anal leakage in a 22 year old? is cancer a rare cause of anal leakage?

First, there is: Underwear staining versus losing control of your bowels without realizing it. This is not usual cancer sign. You need an exam for sphincter tone and perianal sensation. I'd be concerned about neurologic spinal cord issues, seizures.

Likely not cancer: Fortunately anal cancer in a young person like yourself is very rare.
