INTRODUCTION
• “Colorectal cancer” (CRC) – progressive cancer, slow onset, tumor
on the inner lining of the rectum or large intestine (American Cancer
Society, 2016).
• Rare in 1950, predominant cancer now , accounts for 10% of
cancer-related mortality in the western world (Ferlay et al., 2015).
EPIDEMIOLOGY OF COLORECTAL CANCER- PREVALENCE
• Second most common cancer in females; third most common cancer in males (Kuipers et al.,
2015).
• In UK: 42,886 cases of CRC; 16,571 deaths due to CRC. ( Cancer Research UK, 2020).
• In Scotland: 3800 cases recorded; 1743 deaths recorded (Public Health Scotland, 2020)
(Ferlay et al., 2020)
ASSOCIATION OF DIET WITH COLORECTAL CANCER
• Red and processed meats; cooking in high temperature;
smoking of the meat: contributory factors for CRC (Chan et
al., 2011).
• Calcium, fiber, Vitamin D, fruits and vegetables- protective
against CRC(Song, Garrett, Chan, 2015).
ASSOCIATION OF OBESITY & PHYSICAL INACTIVITY WITH COLORECTAL
CANCER
• PHYSICAL INACTIVITY: Physically active individuals- 25%
less chance of developing CRC; sedentary individuals- 50%
increased risk of developing CRC (Rawla, Sunkara, Barsouk,
2019).
• OBESITY: 5-kg weight increment - 3% increased risk of CRC
(Karahalios et al., 2016).
ASSOCIATION OF LIFESTYLE HABITS WITH
COLORECTAL CANCER
• SMOKING:
Carcinogens in tobacco smoke- molecular abnormalities (Limsui et
al., 2010).
Smoking cessation- improved survival (Ordonez-Mena et al., 2018).
• ALCOHOL:
Moderate to heavy alcohol consumption- increased risk of CRC
(Bagnardi et al., 2015).
2–3 alcoholic beverages - 20% increased risk, more than three
drinks- increased risk of 40% (Fedriko et al., 2011).
GLOBAL, NATIONAL AND LOCAL POLICIES
World Health
Organization (WHO):
Primordial prevention,
detection, diagnosis
management, palliative
care (WHO, 2021).
NICE Guidelines in UK:
Recognition of risk
factors, referral,
information and support,
diagnostics, treatment,
palliative care (NICE
Guidelines, 2020).
Bowel Cancer
Framework for
Scotland:
Lifestyle interventions,
chemoprevention,
population screening and
surveillance of high-risk
groups (Scottish
Government, 2004).
PREVENTIVE STRATEGIES
• SCREENING: Age group- 50 to 75 years, fecal occult blood testing
(FOBT), sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy (WHO, 2021).
• LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION: More of fish, fiber, minerals (Gorham et
al., 2005), exercise, (Baena, Salinas, 2015). Less of alcohol, smoking,
red and processed meat (Chan et al., 2011).
• FAMILY OR COMMUNITY SUPPORT: Motivation for screening,
exercise, healthy diet (Breitkopf et al., 2014).
CONCLUSION
• Colorectal cancer - one of the most common, deadly carcinomas; incidence and
prevalence likely to increase in the coming years (Bray et al., 2018).
• CRC exacerbated by poor dietary habits, sedentary lifestyle, smoking and alcohol
consumption .
• Lifestyle modifications, screening and early diagnosis - major decrease in
mortality and will do so in the future (Rawla, Sunkara, Barsouk, 2019).
