  The most effective way to reduce your risk of colorectal cancer is to get screened regularly, beginning at age 45. […] Almost all colorectal cancers begin as precancerous polyps (abnormal growths) in the colon or rectum. […] Colorectal cancer screening can find precancerous polyps so they can be removed before they turn into cancer. In this way, colorectal cancer is prevented. […] If you are age 45 or older, get screened for colorectal cancer.

  https://vivo.weill.cornell.edu/display/pubid8247072

  BACKGROUND: The current practice of removing adenomatous polyps of the colon and rectum is based on the belief that this will prevent colorectal cancer. […] To address the hypothesis that colonoscopic polypectomy reduces the incidence of colorectal cancer, we analyzed the results of the National Polyp Study with reference to other published results. […] The incidence rate of colorectal cancer was compared with that in three reference groups, including two cohorts in which colonic polyps were not removed and one general-population registry, after adjustment for sex, age, and polyp size. […] The numbers of colorectal cancers expected on the basis of the rates in the three reference groups were 48.3, 43.4, and 20.7, for reductions in the incidence of colorectal cancer of 90, 88, and 76 percent, respectively.

  Colon cancer develops from certain polyps or growths in the inner lining of your colon. Healthcare providers have screening tests that detect precancerous polyps before they can become cancerous tumors. […] You may not be able to prevent colon cancer, but you can reduce your risk of developing the condition by managing risk factors: […] Follow colon cancer screening guidelines. Ask your healthcare provider when you should have colon cancer screening. If you have chronic irritable bowel disease or a family history of colon cancer, your healthcare provider may recommend you start screening earlier than age 45.

  Although genes influence your risk for cancer, most of the difference in cancer risk between people is due to factors that are not inherited. Avoid tobacco products, achieve or maintain a healthy weight, stay active throughout life, and eat a healthy diet to greatly reduce your lifetime risk of developing or dying from cancer. […] Eat a healthy diet, with an emphasis on plant foods. […] Limit your intake of processed meats such as bacon, sausage, lunch meats, and hot dogs. […] The best advice at this time is to eat whole foods as part of an overall healthy diet as outlined in this guideline, with special emphasis on controlling calorie intake to help get to and maintain a healthy weight. […] If you drink alcohol, limit their intake to no more than 2 drinks per day for men and 1 drink per day for women.

  Diet seems to be important in preventing colon cancer. […] It appears that adopting a diet with less meat and at least 20 to 30 grams of fiber a day could play an important role in reducing the risk of developing polyps and colon cancer. […] Diets high in fiber and roughage produce bulky stools. It is likely that large, bulky stools help to sweep the colon of carcinogens and harmful bacteria. […] There are also stool bulking agents available in drugstores which contain a soluble fiber called psyllium mucilloid, from a plant commonly grown in India. […] They are useful in treating irregularity, some diseases involving the intestinal tract (such as irritable bowel syndrome and diverticulosis), and probably in preventing polyps and colon cancer. […] Calcium is one of the most common minerals in the body.

  The bottom line is that almost any plant food can be a benefit to the colon. The prebiotic foods and dietary supplement powders have the most science behind them. […] Cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower are felt by many to be gassy. However, there is an extraordinary payoff here. Sulforaphane is a key ingredient in these vegetables. This is a powerful anti-cancer substance. The regular ingestion of these vegetables has been found in many medical studies, to be associated with a reduced cancer risk in many organs of the body. […] Calcium is one of the most common elements in the body. Yet, we still need a regular ingestion of at least 1200 mg of calcium a day. Colon cancer risk seems to be greater when a low amount of calcium is ingested. So, adequate calcium intake in the form of milk, dairy products, shellfish and vegetables is recommended.

  But for colon cancer prevention, it is best to modify the intake. Take smaller portions, perhaps a piece of meat about the size of a deck of cards. Reduce the frequency of red meat ingestion to 3 or 4 times a week or to whatever you feel comfortable with. […] Prebiotics are the soluble fiber which go through the gut unchanged and then are used by good colon bacteria as a fuel source for their own growth. These bacteria then make short chain fatty acids or butyrates. This substance renders the colon acidic and is a fuel source for the health of the colon’s own cells. The bacteria that live in our colon rely on the prebiotic fiber we eat to make substances that maintain the health of our own colon. […] One of the possible benefits of this process is to make the colon cells less likely to turn into precancerous and cancerous cells.

  ROCHESTER, Minn. — Mayo Clinic researchers and a team of collaborating scientists from across the country have determined the comparative effectiveness of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), aspirin and several supplements in preventing the recurrence of advanced neoplasia (polyps that are the precursor of colorectal cancer) after polyp removal. […] In their study, published this month in The BMJ, the research team showed that, for most patients, nonaspirin NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen) work better than aspirin or a host of nutritional supplements to prevent the growth of advanced adenomas. In the paper, they say that due to most colorectal cancers developing from this type of polyps, preventing them is a good proxy for colorectal cancer prevention. […] “Approximately 85 percent of all colorectal cancers are thought to result from untreated adenomatous polyps,” says M.

  COLON CANCER PREVENTION […] Follow-up colonoscopy — The results of the tissue analysis of polyps are discussed with patients when they are available, within a few weeks after the procedure, to decide if and when a follow-up examination is needed. People with adenomatous polyps have an increased risk of developing more polyps. There is a 25 to 30 percent chance that adenomas will be present on a repeat colonoscopy done three years after the initial polypectomy. Some of these polyps may have been present during the original examination but were too small to detect. Other new polyps may also have developed.

  Dr. Murad and his colleagues showed that nonaspirin NSAIDs are better than all the other compared therapies for preventing recurrence of adenomatous polyps within three to five years following initial polyp removal. However, because of some of the other health risks of nonaspirin NSAIDs, they may not be the best choice for everyone. […] Aspirin had nearly as good results, with much less additional risk. Dr. Murad and his colleagues cautioned that, although low-dose aspirin was ranked second in preventive capabilities, “the excess benefit over risk might therefore be favorable for many patients.” […] “It is important that patients and doctors have a discussion on the various risks and benefits of any medication or other therapy,” says Dr. Murad. “While a research publication may contain promising findings, it is generalized information, and each individual is different. So their care will be individualized, as well.”
