ABSTRACT

Introduction: rectal cancer can occur in young patients with no family history, so it is important to assess screening studies in the young population. Clinical case: 25-year-old male with no family history, goes to the emergency department due to a distal bowel obstruction with a history of 30 kg weight loss and diarrhea of six months' duration, imaging studies with an upper rectal lesion and secondary liver nodules. Discussion: results from studies worldwide support the benefits of changing the age of screening for colorectal cancer for patients of any age. The implementation of screening is intended to reduce mortality, but not incidence rates. Conclusions: it is necessary to take into account and assess the signs and symptoms of young patients who come to the consult with symptoms suggestive of a tumor and not wait for them to arrive at an emergency department with data of distal large intestine occlusion and think that cancer can be present also in young patients.
