What to know about colon cancer cases among young adults

Episode 338 | 4m 05s

Many people associate colon cancer with old age, but that's not the case anymore, as the number of young people being diagnosed is on the rise. According to the American Cancer Society, an estimated 154,000 people in the U.S. will be diagnosed with colon and rectal cancer in 2025. One in five will be under the age of 55. Deema Zein reports on the latest research and patients' experiences.
