Colorectal cancer is currently the third most common cancer in the world. It contributes to more than 10% of new cancer cases. It’s also the second-leading cause of cancer related deaths in the world.
The American Cancer Society (ACS) projects there to be 106,190 new cases of colon cancer and 44,850 new cases of rectal cancer in the United States in 2022. One of the many risk factors for colorectal cancer is family history.
Though most colorectal cancer cases are discovered in people without a family history of the disease, as many as 33% of all people who develop colorectal cancer have other family members who have had it. When cancer does run in the family, it is because of inherited genes, shared environmental factors or a combination of both factors.
