EPIDEMIOLOGICAL PROFILE OF MALIGNANT COLON NEOPLASMS IN BAHIA BETWEEN 2011 AND 2020

Introdução

Colorectal Cancer (CCR) is a common neoplasm of the gastrointestinal tract, being the third most frequent malignant tumor in men and the second in women. Its etiology is multifactorial and may be related to aspects such as diet, sedentary lifestyle and high body mass index. The consumption of high-fat, processed, processed foods and low fiber intake are some risk factors for CCR that emphasize the importance of a healthy diet in preventing this disease, since the colon is constantly exposed to substances ingested by the human being.
