Any person is a victim of some type of cancer. However, if you have any risk factors associated with cancer, your chances may increase.
As far as bowel cancer is concerned, Cancer Research UK states that a number of factors can increase the risk of developing the disease, including age, family history, obesity, unhealthy eating habits, low physical activity, smoking and alcohol consumption. Huh.
If you have underlying health conditions such as diabetes, gallstones and acromegaly, you may fall prey to the disease again.
Make sure you get your tests and tests done regularly to avoid delays in diagnosis and treatment.
