Can colon cancer be associated with teens


Can colon cancer be associated with teens??
can colon cancer-the symptoms-be associated with young teens? like if they are 14 or 13 and above? well i know someone who's fathers dad had colon cancer(died of it) and now recently her uncle got prostate cancer (not genetics etc.,). I know someone who asked a similiar ?. She had bad pimples which goes away for a week (she uses creams) and the next two weeks or one week it comes back! All of it. or pimples associate with her allergies too.

Stop worrying so much.

I don't think cancer is age related. My mother died of colon cancer in her 20's and they suspect she'd had it for awhile. I'm 41, and haven't had colon cancer, but did have skin cancer. Illness and disease can happen to anyone.

OK, my husbands dad died from colon cancer. So did a couple of his dads brothers. So, it tends to run in families but, not always. But, if it is a father, mother, sister or brother you will be treated that way, meaning you will, or should, be screened earlier and more ofter especially after the age of 40. Insurance pays for the first colonoscopy at age 50. So, a Dr. would need to check you and determine whether or not you are at risk and then convince your ins. co. to pay for it because of that. My husband had one each yr. for 3 yrs. He had polyps removed this yr. and they did a second one in 3 mos. to get out one that was difficult and to make sure it did not grow back in 3 mos. So, the Ans. is yes, at a certain age. hope this helped someone!

People with familial adenomatous polyposis develop hundreds of colon polyps in their teenage years. If they have a first degree relative with colon cancer at a young age, it is important that they get screened early by a physician.

colon cancer isn't common when you're that young
