A member asked:
Is it possible to have the symptoms of colon cancer and have a tumor that is benign or non-cancerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Many conditions such as bacterial and viral colitis, ulcerative colitis, crohn's colitis are benign, and benign colon polyps can cause colon problems. Even something as simple as hemorrhoids can cause bowel changes or bleeding. Need to see a doctor for an examination.
