What factors cause colon cancer?

The high incidence of colon cancer is obvious to all. Many people do not know how they got it because they have little knowledge about it. Next, let's explore the causes of colon cancer .

1. Chronic colon inflammation is one of the causes of colon cancer. For example, the incidence of colon cancer in ulcerative colitis is higher than that in the general population. During the development of inflammatory proliferative lesions, polyps can often form and further develop into colon cancer. In Crohn's disease, those with colon and rectum involvement may develop colon cancer.

2. There is a significant difference in the incidence and mortality of colon cancer between schistosomiasis-endemic areas and non-endemic areas. In the past, it was believed that chronic schistosomiasis patients, due to the deposition of schistosomiasis eggs and toxin stimulation on the intestinal wall, would cause chronic ulcers and inflammatory polyps in the colon mucosa, which would then lead to colon cancer. Therefore, this is also a factor that leads to colon cancer.

3. According to statistics, the incidence of colon cancer in patients with colon polyps is five times that of patients without colon polyps. The incidence of colon cancer is even higher in patients with familial multiple intestinal polyposis.

The above is a detailed description of the causes of colon cancer. I hope it can help everyone understand the knowledge of colon cancer and cure colon cancer in time. If you have other questions about colon cancer, you can contact our online experts to answer your questions.
