COLON CANCER RISK FACTORS | DR AJESH RAJ SAKSENA | SURGICAL ONCOLOGIST

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide, and understanding its risk factors can help in prevention. Key risk factors include age, with most cases occurring after 50, though younger cases are increasing. A family history of colorectal cancer or genetic syndromes like Lynch syndrome significantly increases your risk. Lifestyle factors also play a big role: a diet high in red or processed meats, smoking, heavy alcohol use, obesity, and lack of physical activity can all contribute. Chronic conditions like inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis, also elevate your risk. The good news? Many of these factors can be managed. Prioritize a healthy diet, regular exercise, and routine screenings to reduce your risk.
