Today scientists add a new type of cancer more: it is colorectal cancer (CRC acronym). This is the result of a multi-dimensional analysis published in the Journal of Gastroenterology and the Department of Biology and Epidemiology and Statistics, European Cancer Institute, Milan, Italy, conducted on 42 small studies. Smoking increases the risk of these cancers compared to 2.14 times the non-smokers and 1.47 times ever in those who had been smoking.
For every additional 10 years of smoking, smokers who had a high risk of developing tumors than 13% compared with those who never smoked.
People who smoke a pack a day continuously for 50 years or two covers in 25 years will double the risk of the disease colorectal polyps than those who never smoked. Results from studies show that 20-25% of cases of colorectal cancer is caused by tobacco.
Albert B. Lowenfels Doctor of the New York Medical College, Valhalla, New York, said: "Smoking is so far not been considered when classifying patients to proceed with colorectal shooting.
