Unless you are eating some rather bizarre foods which were grown at a toxic waste dump, no, chronic constipation in and of itself is not a cause of colon cancer. But.... If you are chronically constipated that may be a symptom of an already existing colon cancer, among other things. If you have stomach pains and chronic constipation, and the pain is relieved with defecation, that could be irritable bowel, or what they used to call a 'spastic colon'. Sometimes there is a variant pattern of several days of constipation alternating with diarrhea. If the constipation is accompanied with bloody stool, night sweats, and weight loss, then go immediately to a doctor.

It can be caused by problems with your colon. I had chronic constipation and put off doing what I should do and almost died. I ended up with a blood clot inside the colon and had to have half of my colon removed. I encourage you if you have this problem to get it checked out.
