It is common knowledge that not all polyps can become colon cancers but all colon cancers have beginnings as polyps. Lack of dietary fiber and too much fat in your diet may play a key role in the formation of polyps and colon cancer so dietary adjustments are recommended when people get older. Screening is also a very efficient and accurate way of detecting it and 90% of all early detections are successful with current treatments. For women, having cancers in the breasts, cervix or ovary increases the risk of getting colorectal cancer and it can also recur if not properly managed.
