What are the two main causes of colorectal cancer? Many patients do not know the cause of their disease, which makes treatment difficult. Let us follow the experts to understand the causes of colorectal cancer .

1. Long-term consumption of high-fat and high-protein foods is one of the causes of colon cancer. These foods stay in the large intestine for a long time and are prone to form carcinogens. Therefore, doctors recommend that you reduce the intake of animal fats and eat more vegetables, fruits, and foods rich in fiber and starch. For example, potatoes, grains, rice, pasta, etc. Also, don't forget to maintain your weight and exercise regularly.

2. Heredity is also a major cause of colorectal cancer. 25% of colorectal cancer occurs in families with a history of colorectal cancer; in some families, most members are prone to polyps. If left unchecked, the incidence of colorectal cancer is also 25%. Elderly people over 50 years old should take various measures to prevent colorectal cancer. Because 50% of elderly people over 60 years old will develop large colorectal polyps, but we don't know which of these polyps of different sizes will develop into colorectal cancer. Therefore, we need to check regularly.
