What would be an early sign of cancer in the ascending colon?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May not be any: Signs and symptoms may not occur till cancer growth is large. Sometimes stool can test positive for blood due to occult bleeding but sensitivity is 50%--colonoscopy is recommended to evaluate further.
