This occurs due to gastrocolic reflex- I will advise you to go actively before the meals this might solve your problem. Dark black stools without taking any medications signifies gastrointestinal bleeding and I will advise you to get evaluated for the same.
Cancer can only be diagnosed after endoscopy and cytological evaluation - I will advise you not to think of cancer without any suspicious findings. Your complaint is only black stools for that you should go for stool examination first followed by endoscopy.
