A new study shows that women are prone to rectal cancer
A new study shows that smoking women are nearly twice as likely to develop rectal cancer as women who never smoke, especially those who smoke a lot every day, smoke long-term, and quit smoking in old age, with a higher risk of rectal cancer. . This also supports early research on this aspect. The study, published in the recently published Journal of the National Cancer Institute, says smoking cessation and prevention are still ways to prevent the development of rectal cancer, and women who continue to smoke should be screened for normal colorectal cancer. Researchers at the Ohio State University conducted a long-term observational study of the incidence of rectal cancer in 14,000 women aged 50 to 79 years. Among these women, 51% never smoked, 42% used to smoke, and 7% still smoke now. The researchers found that 1242 of women who had an average smoking time of 7.8 years or more developed invasive colorectal cancer, and 176 of them had rectal cancer. Compared with women who never smoke, women who are currently smoking have a 95% chance of developing rectal cancer, but do not increase the probability of colon cancer. The researchers' findings were still valid after the researchers considered the effects of other factors on the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer. These factors include age, ethnicity, family history, physical activity, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, hormone therapy; alcohol intake, calcium intake, fiber, fat and red meat intake, waist circumference, and family history of female diabetes. The researchers concluded that the study provides another reason to encourage women to prevent smoking and quit smoking. —— Medio Medical Network
