Causes of Colon Cancer
Normally, body cells follow
an orderly process of growth, division, and death. Cancer Rowllet happens when
cells grow and divide uncontrollably, without dying.
Cancerous cells may spread
from malignant tumors to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph
systems.
The exact causes are
unknown, but colon Cancer Rowllet has several potential risk factors.
Polyps
Colon Cancer Rowllet usually derives from precancerous
polyps that exist in the large intestine.
The most common
types of
polyps are:
·
Adenomas:
These can resemble the normal lining of the colon but look different under a
microscope. They can become cancerous.
·
Hyperplastic
polyps: Colon Cancer Rowllet rarely develops from hyperplastic polyps, as they
are typically benign.
Genes
Uncontrolled cell growth
can happen if there is genetic damage, or if changes to the DNA affect cell
division. A genetic predisposition can be inherited from family members, but
most colon cancers occur in people without a family history.
Traits, habits, and diet
Age is an important risk
factor for colon cancer. Around 91 percent of those who receive
a diagnosis are over 50 years old.
Colon Cancer Rowllet is more
likely in
people with sedentary lifestyles, those with obesity, and those who smoke
tobacco.
As the colon is part of the
digestive system, diet is an important factor. Diets that are low in fiber and
high in fat, calories, red meat, alcohol, and processed meats have
been linked to a higher riskof colon cancer.
Underlying conditions
These include:
·
diabetes
·
acromegaly,
a growth hormone disorder
·
radiation
treatment for other cancers
·
inflammatory
bowel disease, such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn's
disease
