How common is colon cancer in late 30? my grandma and aunt had it after 60 but im very nervous as ive had a change of loose stool and bloating

Colon cancer: Colon cancer is most unusual in 30 year olds, but can occur. Colon cancer in first degree relatives(mother, father, siblings) is of more concern. Since you've observed a change in bowel habits, for peace of mind consult a gastroenterologist to evaluate and advise you.

Screening : With a family history of colon cancer, first screening colonoscopy should be done 10 years earlier than the earliest onset of disease in any family member.
