Is colon cancer hereditary?

With the continuous improvement of living standards, various diseases are increasing, and colorectal cancer is one of them, and the disease has a tendency to develop continuously. Experts say that the occurrence of this disease is most closely related to heredity. So is colorectal cancer hereditary? The following is an introduction to the relevant content.

If there is a colorectal cancer patient in the family, his/her immediate family members should pay attention to observe whether there are changes in bowel habits and defecation characteristics, such as constipation, increased bowel movements, bloody stools, abdominal pain, abdominal distension or intestinal obstruction. If the above symptoms occur, you should go to the hospital for fecal occult blood test, serum carcinoembryonic antigen, rectal digital examination and endoscopic examination, etc., in order to detect cancer as early as possible. Colorectal cancer has a certain relationship with heredity, but it is not absolute. It can be avoided as long as you pay attention to your lifestyle and diet.
For the treatment of colorectal cancer, surgical resection is generally the first choice in clinical practice, followed by chemoradiotherapy or cellular immunotherapy. However, given the large toxic side effects of chemoradiotherapy, which are difficult for patients to tolerate, cellular immunotherapy is generally used, or cellular immunotherapy combined with chemoradiotherapy. Cellular immunotherapy is a method of inhibiting and treating tumors by stimulating the body's own immune system. It makes up for the shortcomings of traditional surgery, chemoradiotherapy, and while killing tumor cells, it can also regulate and restore the body's immune function, kill formed tumor cells, inhibit the formation of new tumor cells, and block the source of tumor recurrence and metastasis.
