Colon cancer has a certain genetic predisposition, and those with a family history must be reviewed regularly. The main factors in its development are related to family history, but also to daily dietary habits, frequent smoking and drinking, or long-term high-fat diet, irregular work schedules, and irregular diet.

Generally, healthy people who have an immediate family member with colon or rectal cancer have a higher chance of developing bowel cancer than the average person, and such people must be checked regularly. At the same time, to do a good job of prevention, first of all, quit smoking and alcohol. Develop good eating habits, don’t overeat, don’t eat spicy and stimulating fried food. Try to eat more vitamin-rich foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables, and then eat more coarse fiber foods, which help to smooth the bowels and reduce the chances of developing intestinal diseases.

To achieve regular medical checkups, if intestinal polyps or adenomas are found, they can be removed in time to effectively prevent some serious consequences. The prognosis is relatively good once early bowel cancer is detected and surgery is performed in time.
