Fiber, fiber, fiber!
2 :
increase fiber, dont eat meat, increase folic acid intake. You cant PREVENT it. You can DECREASE YOUR RISK OF colon cancer.
3 :
Have a regular colonoscopy if it runs in your family. Eat lots of fibre, bright coloured fruits and veggies, eat anti-oxidant foods. Drink plenty of fluids and make sure that you have a healthy bowel.
4 :
Sorry, but can't prevent colon cancer! there are many unknown factors that cause colon cancer,(i.e.tobacco,obesity,genetics,etc) One can live a very healthy lifestyle and still get colon cancer.No matter what your lifestyle is, there's no guarantees in medicine.
5 :
Eat lots and lots of foods rich in fiber. Cut down very signigicantly on food that contains bad fats: beef, pork, sausages, butter, transfats, etc.... Increase intake of lowfat milk, no more than 1 percent fat. Jump rope, jog, or walk briskly for 30 minutes every day. Take a good multiple vitamin daily.

Not sure. But here is some encouraging latest news: US scientists crack entire genetic code of breast and colon cancers Research on cancer and the genetic code looks like it may at long last produce real breakthroughs For more info, visit: http://www.librarynews.info/ http://www.medical-research-study-directory.info/medical-research-study-directory/ http://www.medical-research-study-directory.info/ http://www.lasik-surgery-san-diego.info/ http://www.san-diego-dentist.us http://www.san-diego-plastic-surgery-cosmetic-surgery-doctors.us/ http://www.acne-treatment-medicine-1.info/

Preventionmeassures for colorectal cancer - Most colorectal cancers should be preventable, through increased surveillance, improved lifestyle, and, probably, the use of dietary chemopreventive agents. Surveillance Most colorectal cancer arise from adenomatous polyps. These lesions can be detected and removed during colonoscopy. Studies show this procedure would decrease by > 80% the risk of cancer death, provided it is started by the age of 50, and repeated every 5 or 10 years. As per current guidelines under National Comprehensive Cancer Network at [www.NCCN.org], in average risk individuals with negative family history of colon cancer and personal history negative for adenomas or Inflammatory Bowel diseases, flexible sigmoidoscopy every 5 years with fecal occult blood testing annually or double contrast barium enema are other options acceptable for screening rather than colonoscopy every 10 years (which is currently the Gold-Standard of care). Lifestyle The comparison of colorectal cancer incidence in various countries strongly suggests that sedentarity, overeating (i.e., high caloric intake), and perhaps a diet high in meat (red or processed) could increase the risk of colorectal cancer. In contrast, physical exercise, and eating plenty of fruits and vegetables would decrease cancer risk, probably because they contain protective phytochemicals. Eating whole apples, including the skin, offers some anticancer benefits.Accordingly, lifestyle changes could decrease the risk of colorectal cancer as much as 60-80%. Chemoprevention More than 200 agents, including the above cited phytochemicals, and other food components like calcium or folic acid (a B vitamin), and NSAIDs like aspirin, are able to decrease carcinogenesis in preclinical models: Some studies show full inhibition of carcinogen-induced tumours in the colon of rats. Other studies show strong inhibition of spontaneous intestinal polyps in mutated mice (Min mice). Chemoprevention clinical trials in human volunteers have shown smaller prevention, but few intervention studies have been completed today. Calcium and aspirin supplements, given for 3 to 5 years after the removal of a polyp, modestly decreased the recurrence of polyps in volunteers (by 15-20%). The "chemoprevention database"shows the results of all published scientific studies of chemopreventive agents, in people and in animals.-
