Colon cancer becoming more of a risk for those under 50 Colon cancer now a risk for those younger than 50 By Rania Kaur | February 26, 2021 at 8:02 PM CST - Updated March 2 at 1:38 PM LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) - March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness month - a kind of cancer diagnosis that’s now seeming to affect even young people. Actor Chadwick Boseman lost his battle to colon cancer at just 43 years old. Gastroenterologist from Lake Charles Memorial Hospital Dr. Eric Fontenot hosted a seminar live on Facebook bringing awareness to colon cancer, especially in young people. “We have multiple societies in this country who have recommended - firmly recommended - 45 is the age that we start colon cancer screening. Now, that being said, we just had to talk about how colon cancer is occurring in younger and younger ages, sometimes patients who are in their 20s and 30s.”
