Is colon cancer hereditary?

With the development of society, the improvement of people's living standards, and the relevant regulations of our country's family planning policy, people are paying more and more attention to having a child. For example, whether colon cancer can be passed on to children is one of the questions they want to know. Generally speaking, colon cancer is not inherited, but we also know that rectal cancer has a genetic susceptibility, so we must pay attention to it and take relevant preventive measures. Let's take a look at the specific situation together.

First, let’s look at the causes of colon cancer. Studies have found that the main causes of colon cancer are high-fat diet and insufficient fiber intake, so it is generally not hereditary. However, we must note that chronic inflammation of the colon makes the incidence of colon cancer higher than the general population.

Secondly, although we know that colon cancer is generally not hereditary, we should also pay attention to the genetic susceptibility of rectal cancer. If it is a familial multiple intestinal polyposis, the incidence of cancer is higher, so we must pay attention and take relevant preventive measures.

Finally, let us learn about the related treatments. The main treatment method for patients with colon cancer is surgery, which is of course supplemented by a comprehensive program of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine and other supportive treatments to improve the success rate of surgery and reduce the possibility of cancer recurrence.

Everyone should know that patients with chronic colitis, colon polyps, obese men, etc. are susceptible groups. They should take relevant preventive measures, eat a balanced diet, actively exercise, and improve their overall quality.
