Is colon cancer related to lifestyle habits?

Colon cancer is a common digestive tract malignancy that occurs in the colon, and ranks third among gastrointestinal tumors. The most common sites are the rectum and the junction of the rectum and the sigmoid colon. So is colon cancer related to daily lifestyle? From an epidemiological point of view, the incidence of colon cancer is related to the environment, lifestyle, and especially the diet. Today, I will introduce the phenomenon to you.

Experts predicted at last year's National Oncology Conference that with the evolution of lifestyle, diet, living environment and the gradual increase of the elderly population, the spectrum of cancer in my country will gradually show a westernized trend. In the future, breast cancer and colorectal cancer will increase significantly in cities and coastal economically developed areas. A recent report explained this prediction: Beijing's first colon cancer census was carried out in the form of random checks. Due to the high fat and low fiber content in the diet, colon cancer currently ranks third in the incidence of cancer in Beijing.

Colon cancer is a common malignant tumor of the digestive tract, and most commonly occurs in the sigmoid colon and rectum. It accounts for 4/5 of all colon cancers, followed by the cecum, ascending colon, and transverse colon. Therefore, it is generally said that colon cancer includes two parts: colon cancer and rectal cancer. The highest incidence of colon cancer is in the 40-50 age group. In economically developed countries, colon cancer is the first and second most common malignant tumor.

Studies have shown that a diet high in saturated fatty acids increases the concentration of bile acid in the colon and changes the composition of colonic flora. Bile acid can generate certain carcinogens through bacterial action. Dietary fiber absorbs water, increases stool volume, dilutes the concentration of intestinal residues, and shortens the time it takes for stool to pass through the colon, thereby reducing the contact time between carcinogens and intestinal mucosa. Therefore, a high-fat diet and insufficient dietary fiber are important factors in causing colon cancer.

From the above introduction, we can also know that colon cancer is closely related to daily living habits. It is very important to develop good living habits so that you can stay away from colon cancer and the pain caused by the disease.
