Randy League Beats Stage 3 Colon Cancer by June 2026 After Lynch Syndrome Diagnosis

Summary
June 2026 marked Randy League’s cancer-free milestone after treatment for stage 3 colon cancer that was diagnosed in April 2025, when he was 45.
A sharp overnight pain in January 2025 led to months of tests and waits before doctors found a golf ball-sized tumor and identified a rare invasive colon cancer variant.
Genetic testing later showed League has Lynch syndrome—affecting about 1 in 300 Americans—which sharply raises colon cancer risk and prompted concern about screening for relatives, including his 16-year-old daughter.
Six weeks of radiation and oral chemotherapy shrank the tumor, and his Lynch syndrome-linked mutation qualified him for immunotherapy, which let him keep working with fatigue as his main side effect.
League now faces regular MRIs, CT scans and annual colonoscopies, and says the ordeal underscored the value of having a primary care doctor and getting screened at 45.
