Colon cancer is the uncontrolled growth of cells in the colon or rectum. It is completely curable if detected early. The main causes are:
Dietary Imbalances: A diet low in fiber and high in fat is the main culprit. Excessive consumption of red meat (beef, mutton), processed meat (sausages, ham), and canned foods increases the risk of colon cancer.

Lifestyle Diseases: Obesity and lack of exercise are directly linked to colon cancer. When physical activity decreases, the movement of food through the intestines slows down, which causes harmful elements to remain in the intestines.
Alcohol Use: Smoking and excessive drinking significantly increase the risk of colon cancer. The toxins in tobacco cause changes in the cells of the intestines.
Genetics: If someone in your family has had colon cancer, you are more likely to get it. Certain genetic changes (such as Lynch syndrome) can cause this.

Other bowel diseases: Polyps that develop in the bowel can turn into cancer over time. Chronic inflammatory diseases such as ulcerative colitis also increase the risk.
