Colon cancer, like many other forms of cancer, can be a result of how you live your life. If you practice certain lifestyle traits, you can lower your risk of getting the disease, while others can heavily increase the risk.
Colon cancer is rather scary, because it can sneak up on you. It’s easy to overlook, and if you’re not getting a regular colonoscopy, it can be very difficult to detect early. For example, the National Cancer Institute estimates there will be about 136,830 cases of colorectal cancer diagnosed this year; 50,310 are likely to result in death.
