Abstract:
Most colorectal cancers develop from adenomas. Environmental factors play an important role in the development and progression of adenoma. Recently,epidemiologic investigations on lifestyle change including diet and exercise and drug intervention studies have proved the relationship between environmental factors and colorectal cancer. Screening,polypectomy and surveillance via colonoscopy are the main measures of colorectal cancer prevention. However, the efficacy is unsatisfactory. Therefore,attention should be paid to studies on colorectal cancer prophylaxis via intervention on environmental factors. Emphasis should be put on various aspects of environmental intervention in clinical practice,and prophylaxis strategies should be generated individually in accordance with the local condition and situation.
