Further understanding of the causes of colorectal cancer

In recent years, the incidence of colorectal cancer has been rising, causing a lot of harm to our lives. But in the end, we don’t even know the causes of colorectal cancer . Because the causes of colorectal cancer were not discovered in time, more people have been harmed. Therefore, we must understand the causes of colorectal cancer in advance. Let us take a look at it below.

1. Environmental factors Studies have shown that among various environmental factors, diet is the most important, and the cause of colorectal cancer is positively correlated with high fat consumption in food. In addition, it may also be related to the lack of trace elements and changes in living habits.

2. Genetic factors There are reports of "familial colorectal cancer" both at home and abroad. The number of blood relatives of colorectal cancer patients who died of the disease is significantly higher than that of the general population. Some colorectal adenomas, such as multiple familial adenomatosis, are autosomal dominant genetic diseases with a family prevalence rate of up to 50%. If not treated, there is a possibility of colorectal cancer after the age of 10. Recently, some scholars have studied the relationship between tumor suppressor genes and colorectal cancer and found that the susceptibility and pathogenesis of colorectal cancer are both related to genetic factors.

3. Colon adenoma According to the research of autopsy materials from various places, the incidence of colon adenoma is quite consistent with the cause of colon cancer. According to statistics, the incidence of colon cancer in patients with one adenoma is 5 times higher than that in patients without adenoma, and the incidence of colorectal cancer in patients with multiple adenomas is 1 times higher than that in patients with a single adenoma.

4. Chronic colon inflammation: It is reported that the prevalence of intestinal cancer is positively correlated with the prevalence of schistosomiasis. It is generally believed that schistosomiasis is also the cause of colon cancer. Other chronic inflammations of the intestine may also lead to cancer, such as ulcerative colitis, which has a 3% to 5% chance of canceration.

5. Dietary factors

6. Racial factors

The information above is the cause of colorectal cancer. I hope everyone can understand it. For us, as long as we further understand the cause of colorectal cancer, we can treat it as early as possible and prevent the spread of the disease. During the treatment period, we still need to pay attention to the cause of colorectal cancer. Finally, I wish all patients a speedy recovery.
