Paying attention to the cause of colorectal cancer can effectively prevent this disease

In recent years, the incidence of colorectal cancer has been rising, which has brought certain harm to people's lives and social stability. However, we usually do not pay attention to the causes of colorectal cancer, which may directly lead to the spread of this disease. Therefore, we must know the causes of colorectal cancer in advance to better prevent this disease. The following is an introduction to the causes of colorectal cancer.

Causes of bowel cancer include:

1. History of colorectal polyps: Most colorectal cancers develop from small precancerous lesions, which are called polyps. Among them, villous adenomatous polyps are more likely to develop into cancer, with a chance of malignant transformation of about 25%; tubular adenomatous polyps have a malignant transformation rate of 1-5%; this is one of the causes of colorectal cancer.

2. Genetic background: Familial adenomatous polyposis and hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer are caused by mutations in the corresponding genes. These patients not only have a significantly increased risk of developing the disease, but also develop it at a younger age. This is also a cause of colorectal cancer.

3. Age: As age increases, the time that various pathogenic factors stimulate the large intestine mucosa also increases. Most patients develop the disease after the age of 50; this cause of intestinal cancer is relatively common.

The above is the cause of colorectal cancer. I hope everyone can understand it one by one. As long as people combine the above causes of colorectal cancer, they can do their best to prevent this disease, and then the incidence rate can be greatly reduced. So if you want to get rid of the interference of this disease, please be more careful about the cause of colorectal cancer. Finally, I wish all patients can fight the disease to the end.
