Consumption of processed meat, red meat and alcohol, lack of physical activity, obesity and smoking are considered risk factors that contribute to the occurrence of this cancer. It can be diagnosed by performing a colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy, or by a microscopical examination of a tissue sample.

The topics covered in this extensive book deal with the core aspects of colorectal cancer. Its aim is to present researches pertaining to the pathogenesis, diagnosis and management of colorectal cancer. It will prove to be immensely beneficial to students and researchers in this field.
