There are many reasons why colorectal cancer is becoming more common not only in Singapore but around the world. People who are overweight, smoke, drink alcohol regularly, eat a high-fat diet, or do not exercise have a higher risk of developing the condition.

Cancer that starts in the colon is called colon cancer and rectal cancer is called rectal cancer. Cancer affecting any of these organs can be called colorectal cancer. Although this is not always the case, most cases of colorectal cancer usually develop over time from adenomatous (pre-cancerous) polyps. Polyps can change (growth) after a series of mutations (abnormalities) in their cellular DNA. Some risk factors for colorectal cancer include a family history of colon or rectal cancer, diet, alcohol use, smoking, and inflammatory bowel disease.
