On the subject: XNUMX myths about breast cancer that make it difficult to adequately treat the disease

It is impossible to say unequivocally what exactly can cause the appearance of intestinal cancer, but the oncologist identified several factors that can provoke it.

Among the main reasons:

  • abundance in the diet of meat or products subject to chemical and other processing;
  • absence or low content in the menu of products containing fiber;
  • abuse of canned food and fast food;
  • being overweight or obese;
  • sedentary lifestyle;
  • genetic predisposition;
  • regular inflammatory processes in the intestines.

In order to identify this pathology in time, it is necessary to take a fecal occult blood test or conduct a colonoscopy with a biopsy. It is worth remembering that the earlier a disease is detected, the more likely it is that the disease will be defeated. Therefore, if you find similar symptoms in yourself, do not self-medicate, but immediately contact your doctor to find out the exact diagnosis and choose the appropriate treatment method.
