Colon Polyps: Polyps are small growths that develop on the inner lining of the colon. Although they are initially non-cancerous, over time, some polyps can mutate and become cancerous.

Diet: Excessive consumption of red meat (lamb, buffalo, beef) and processed meats (for example, sausage, bacon). Also, a diet low in fiber and high in fat.

Lack of exercise: A sedentary lifestyle increases the risk of colon cancer.

Obesity: Obese people are more likely to develop this disease.

Smoking and alcohol: Long-term smoking and excessive alcohol consumption affect the health of the colon and increase the risk of cancer.

Genetics: If your parents or siblings have had colon cancer in your family, you are also genetically more likely to develop it.

Chronic bowel diseases: Chronic inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, which last for many years, increase the risk of cancer.

Age: This disease is more likely to be seen in people over 50 years of age (although it is now being seen in younger people).
