A member asked:
Could low white blood count be related to colon cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unclear question!: Low white count has little to do with colon cancer but if the patient with colon cancer is being treated with chemotherapy, then this is not unusual as chemotherapy often lowers white cell counts.
