Abstract:
Colorectal cancer, with its high incidence and significant morbidity and mortality, remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Primary prevention of colorectal cancer may be more cost-effective and practical than secondary prevention. The primary prevention of colorectal cancer involves dietary and environmental modifications, chemoprevention, and in some cases prophylactic surgery.
