How much do you know about the causes of rectal cancer?

There are many people who suffer from rectal cancer in life, but few people really know how they got rectal cancer. Therefore, the treatment of rectal cancer also brings certain difficulties. Next, let's learn about the causes of rectal cancer .

1. Genetic factors: About 1/4 of the families of patients with rectal cancer have a family history of cancer, and half of them are also digestive tract tumors. Due to the change of normal cell genes, rectal cancer patients inherit a susceptibility in their bodies, which will develop into rectal cancer. Cell genetic genes mutate and become malignant cells with tumor genetic characteristics. Therefore, this is one of the causes of rectal cancer.

2. Polyps: The cause of rectal cancer is closely related to polyps. Some people believe that rectal polyps are the early lesions of rectal cancer, especially familial multiple adenomatous polyposis, which is very likely to cause rectal cancer; papillary adenomatous polyps also have a higher chance of becoming cancerous.

3. Chronic inflammatory stimulation: Chronic inflammatory stimulation can lead to the occurrence of rectal cancer. For example, schistosomiasis, amoebic dysentery, chronic nonspecific ulcerative colitis, etc. can cause rectal cancer through granuloma, inflammatory and pseudopolyp stages. Therefore, this is also a factor leading to the etiology of rectal cancer.

The above is a detailed description of the factors that lead to rectal cancer. I hope it can help everyone understand the knowledge of rectal cancer in this regard and cure rectal cancer in time.
