People group with a high risk of colorectal cancer

Colorectal cancer is one of the five most common cancers in the world. The other four types of cancer are lung cancer, breast cancer, prostrate cancer and oral cancer.

These five high-risk cancers, except lung cancer, the remaining four are all malignant tumors of the digestive system. Moreover, experts said that the incidence of gastric cancer, esophageal cancer, and liver cancer has stabilized, but the incidence of colorectal cancer has increased significantly, and there is a trend of rejuvenation.

In 2015, the incidence of colorectal cancer in India accounted for 24.3% of the world’s total, and the number of deaths accounted for 22.9% of the world. Compared with 2005, the number of new cases and deaths have doubled in ten years, reaching 377,000 and 191,100 respectively.

In addition to genetic factors, the rejuvenation of colorectal cancer is also an important reason for increased urbanization and changes in the diet structure of the population. Urban white-collar workers under high-intensity work pressure are particularly worthy of attention.

The reason for the rapid increase in colorectal cancer incidence is closely related to the diet structure.

Think about what we usually eat, high-fat, high-protein, high-calorie foods account for a large proportion, and many people are seriously inadequate intake of vegetables and fruits.

Secondly, there is less exercise, more obesity, and a longer sitting time. Many people are almost facing the computer or playing mobile phones every day except for the time of sleeping, and the exercise time is seriously insufficient. These are all the causes of the increasing incidence of colorectal cancer.

6 high-risk groups of colorectal cancer

People with a family history

People who like to eat high-fat and high-protein foods

People with long-term constipation and bloody stools

People suffering from intestinal diseases, cholecystitis and other related chronic diseases

People with chronic depression

People who stay up all night

These high-risk groups are over 50 years old, at least one intestinal examination should be done annually, and those under 50 years old should also have an intestinal examination every 2 to 3 years.

The most obvious is blood in the stool. Most other symptoms are also likely to accompany bowel movements, including constipation, thin stools, heavy back pain (despite extreme exertion during bowel movements, the stool is difficult to resolve, accompanied by pain), abdominal pain and so on. However, there are many cases where the cancer is so severe that symptoms do not appear.

In addition, it is not uncommon to mistake rectal cancer for hemorrhoids. Until the abdominal bloating becomes stronger and intestinal obstruction occurs, it is finally found that it is rectal cancer. Take a step back and say that even hemorrhoids can’t be ignored. In fact, this group of people with hemorrhoids is a group with a high incidence of rectal cancer.

If you notice symptoms such as bloody stools or abnormal bowel movements, you must go to the hospital in time for examination.

In addition to genetic immutability, most colorectal cancers can be prevented by changes in lifestyle and eating habits. Especially for digestive tract tumors, the relationship with eating is very close.

Studies have shown that 50% of colorectal cancer in the United States can be prevented by adjusting diet, weight control, and exercise.

Recently, authoritative cancer nutrition experts in the United States have given six ways to prevent colorectal cancer, which can help reduce the risk of colon cancer.

1 Control belly fat. Regardless of body weight, the correlation between abdominal fat and colorectal cancer risk also exists.

2 Regular exercise regularly. You don’t have to go to the gym, you can clean the room, you can also go out for a run, in short, you must move.

3 Eat more high-fiber foods. For every 10 grams of fiber added to your daily diet, you can reduce your colon cancer risk by 10%.

4 Eat less red meat and processed meat. At the same weight, processed meats such as hot dogs, bacon, sausages and cooked meat products will increase the risk of colon cancer even more.

5 Do not drink or drink less.

6 Eat more garlic. Evidence suggests that a diet rich in garlic can reduce the risk of colorectal cancer.

In addition, experts suggest that you should eat less or not foods rich in saturated fat and cholesterol, including: big fish, meat, oil, animal offal, egg yolk, etc .; vegetable oils, including peanut oil, soybean oil, rapeseed oil, etc. are limited to everyone About 20 to 30 grams per day, about 2 to 3 tablespoons. Do not eat or eat less fried, fried, grilled food.
