 Having no symptoms (example - blood in the stool) means there is no cancer?

The truth is that many people with colorectal cancer experience no symptoms in the early stages of the disease. By the time cancer symptoms appear, it may be too late. Do not wait for symptoms before getting screened. Regular screening can detect polyps or colorectal cancer early and increase cancer survivorship.
