Who gets colon cancer?

Colon cancer can affect anyone, but certain factors can increase an individual's risk of developing the disease.

These factors include:

1. Age: The risk of colon cancer increases with age, with most cases occurring in people over the age of 50.

2. Family history: A personal or family history of colon cancer, polyps, or inflammatory bowel disease can increase the risk of developing colon cancer.

3. Lifestyle factors: A diet high in red and processed meats, obesity, smoking, and lack of physical activity can increase the risk of colon cancer.

4. Personal history: A history of colon polyps or inflammatory bowel disease can increase the risk of developing colon cancer.

5. Genetic syndromes: Certain inherited genetic syndromes, such as Lynch syndrome and familial adenomatous polyposis, can increase the risk of colon cancer.

6. Race: African Americans have a higher risk of developing and dying from colon cancer than other racial groups.

7. Ethnicity: Jews of Eastern European descent (Ashkenazi Jews) have a higher risk of developing colon cancer due to a specific genetic mutation.

8. Type 2 diabetes: People with type 2 diabetes have an increased risk of developing colon cancer.

It is important to note that having one or more of these risk factors does not necessarily mean that a person will develop colon cancer, but it does increase the likelihood.

Regular screening and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help reduce the risk of colon cancer.
