Having IBD, including ulcerative colitis and
Crohn’s disease, increases your chances for
developing colorectal cancer. Talk with your
doctor about managing these conditions if
you have them.
No lifestyle change can be guaranteed to
prevent cancer.
However, these are all known risk factors that
you may be able to change:
obesity, lack of physical activity, smoking,
heavy alcohol use, and a diet high in red and
processed meats.
