Özet

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world. As the age increases, the frequency of the disease increases. There are factors that increase and decrease the risk for this disease. It is necessary to know these risks well. Since there is a risk of developing cancer from colon polyps, the most important protective factor we have is colonoscopy to prevent disease. Colonoscopy is used both as a diagnosis and treatment goal. Risk factors for colorectal cancer are described in the text, and the conditions that reduce the risk are explained in detail.
