Colon cancer risk factors should be avoided
Early detection of these symptoms is the best way to catch and successfully treat colon cancer. If detected early, the 5-year survival rate is about 90%. In order to control these symptoms of colon cancer, it is important to consider potential risk factors.
Of course, there are risk factors you can’t control, such as your age and family history, but there are a few things you can control, including:
Overweight
Smoking
Drinks a lot
Diabetes
Inactive lifestyle
Eating a diet high in processed meats
Colon cancer risk increases with age, so it’s important to maintain a healthy lifestyle and eliminate risk factors that are within your control.
