Please describe the very early symptoms of colon cancer?
9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Maybe none: First signs may be invisible rectal bleeding, changes to bowel function. Early colon cancers will have no symptoms. Colonoscopy is a way to find a colon cancer early.

Colon cancer: Blood in the stool, whether or not you can see it, in addition to abdominal pain and bloating, constipation or diarrhoea which persists without explanation for more than a few days. Change in stool caliber is also sometimes noted.
