Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
You are wondering if bleeding is always associated in patients with colon cancer. More than likely there will be microscopic bleeding with a cancer of the colon. If it becomes visible then it would be more than likely another cause like inflammatory bowel disease or hemorrhoids. But with colon cancer there is usually some bleeding.
