Can I pass on colon cancer to my children?

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: Can children be inherited if they have colon cancer? This is one of the questions they want to know. Let's see what the experts say.

Generally speaking, colon cancer is not hereditary, 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 below.

First, let’s look at the causes of colorectal cancer. Studies have found that the main causes of colorectal 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 colorectal cancer higher than the general population.

Secondly, although we know that colorectal 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 colorectal cancer patients 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.

Note: 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.
