The patient exhibits symptoms consistent with anemia, and the test results suggest that the underlying cause is iron deficiency resulting from ongoing blood loss. Lesions affecting the descending colon typically result in obstructive symptoms because to its narrower diameter, but lesions in the ascending colon tend to produce bleeding, which can lead to iron-deficiency anemia. His risk factors consist of his smoking history and a confirmed family history of colon cancer. A well-documented series of genetic mutations takes place in colorectal cancers: APC → K-RAS → DCC → p53. Colon cancer encompasses a range of different kinds, some of which have a hereditary component. Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer is linked to genetic alterations in mismatch repair. This patient should have additional assessment, specifically a colonoscopy, to gather tissue samples and get a more conclusive diagnosis.
