When should i be concerned that being constipated could be something more serious like colon cancer?

Colon cancer at your age is quite unusual. Classic signs&symptoms include change from your usual bowel function, unexplained anemia, red blood in stool, abdominal cramping caused by semiobstructed colon. Late signs are weight loss, liver derangement from metastases.
