abstract = {Colorectal cancer (CRC) is both one of the most common and
one of the most preventable cancers globally, with powerful
but strongly missed potential for primary, secondary and
tertiary prevention. CRC incidence has traditionally been
the highest in affluent Western countries, but it is now
increasing rapidly with economic development in many other
parts of the world. CRC shares several main risk factors,
such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, physical
inactivity and being overweight, with other common diseases;
therefore, primary prevention efforts to reduce these risk
factors are expected to have multiple beneficial effects
that extend beyond CRC prevention, and should have high
public health impact. A sizeable reduction in the incidence
and mortality of CRC can also be achieved by offering
effective screening tests, such as faecal immunochemical
tests, flexible sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy, in organised
screening programmes which have been implemented in an
increasing number of countries. Countries with early and
high uptake rates of effective screening have exhibited
major declines in CRC incidence and mortality, in contrast
to most other countries. Finally, increasing evidence shows
that the prognosis and quality of life of CRC patients can
be substantially improved by tertiary prevention measures,
such as the administration of low-dose aspirin and the
promotion of physical activity.},
