The recent death of actor Chadwick Boseman from colon cancer surprised many, "but it also shows how severe and sinister and deadly colon cancer can be, even among patients who are in their 30s and 40s," said Franciscan Health colorectal surgeon Dipen Maun, MD.

Dr. Dipen Maun and Andrea, who was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer at age 35, share what colon cancer signs young adults should watch for and the importance of screening.

"If you feel something is wrong, find an answer," Andrea said. "No one knows your body like you do."
