Yes, it is possible for a person to have colon cancer, even if the CBC and tumour marker reports are normal.
On the contrary,
CBC: a CBC is not specific for detecting colon cancer and can appear normal when in the presence of disease.
Tumor markers:These can be false negative. Some patients with colon cancer may not produce elevated levels of these markers, leading to false negative results.
