Are longer stools a sign of colon cancer?

Having longer stools than usual is not typically a sign of colon cancer. It is more important to look for occult blood in the stool, which can be detected through a specific test. If you are concerned about the results of the test, you can access them through the Carnet Santé Québec. Remember that longer stools can sometimes occur after a period of constipation.
