Colon cancer affects a lot of people in the United States, with about 150,000 new cases diagnosed each year and roughly 50,000 deaths annually. Common symptoms include changes in bowel habits such as diarrhea or constipation, blood in the stool, persistent abdominal pain or cramping, unexplained weight loss, and ongoing fatigue, though early cancer can have no symptoms. Obesity raises a person’s chance of getting colon cancer because excess body fat causes chronic inflammation and changes in insulin and hormone levels that can promote tumor growth. People who are heavier are more likely to develop colon cancer than those at a healthy weight. Eating a healthy diet, staying active, and getting regular screening can reduce the risk and help catch cancer early.
