What are the factors that cause colon cancer

You may not know much about colon cancer. It is not a common disease, and there are not many people around us suffering from this disease. So you may know even less about this disease. It is very important to know the cause of a disease. So I looked up some information and gained a lot. Let me introduce it to you in detail.

Unreasonable diet structure:

The cause of colorectal cancer is related to an unreasonable dietary structure. Eating too much fatty, sweet, high-calorie, low-fiber food also hinders gastrointestinal motility, promotes the accumulation and absorption of toxins, and causes a high incidence of colorectal cancer.

Chronic colon inflammation:

According to statistical investigations, the risk of chronic ulcerative colitis patients developing the disease is about ten times higher than that of normal people. The risk of malignant transformation of hemorrhagic ulcerative colitis is even greater. Fifty percent of patients with the disease course exceeding ten years will develop cancer.

Environmental factors:

Environmental changes can also easily cause the occurrence of colorectal cancer. With the increasing modernization and industrialization of life, factors such as interior decoration, waste gas pollution, and pesticide abuse have led to a decrease in our immune ability, which is also a common cause of colorectal cancer.

Genetics:

Genetics is also a major cause of colorectal cancer. 25% of colorectal cancer occurs in families with a history of colorectal cancer. In some families, most members are prone to polyps. If left unchecked, the incidence of colorectal cancer is also 25%. Elderly people over 50 years old should take various measures to prevent colorectal cancer. Because 50% of elderly people over 60 years old will develop large colorectal polyps. But we don't know which of these polyps of different sizes will develop into colorectal cancer.

After reading the above article, I believe you will have a more comprehensive understanding of the causes of this disease, and will not panic too much when encountering this disease. Finally, I hope everyone can have a healthy body.
