Dark brown is a common color and not to be worried about. Your stool seems normal in all respects. You should look up the symptoms of intestinal cancer on the internet and see if you qualify. My guess is that you have no problem.

It is unlikely that your stools are abnormal. Drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless. Visit this site for abnormal colored stool: https://www.mayoclinic.org/stool-color/expert-answers/faq-20058080 Wish you good health! Get HPV vaccine.
