[Research progress on the impact of diet on the early-onset colorectal cancer].

Abstract

The incidence of early-onset colorectal cancer has been gradually increasing in recent years. Studies have shown that early-onset CRC is closely related to modifiable risk factors such as diet, but there is still a lack of consistent conclusions and a systematic review of relevant research results. In this review, we comprehensively summarized the association between diet and the early-onset CRC, clarified the association and relative risk between different dietary patterns, common food types and nutrients and the occurrence of early-onset CRC, and elaborated the underlying physiological mechanisms. Enhancing the understanding of dietary risk factors, which are modifiable exogenous risk factors, is expected to serve as a reference for the formulation of primary prevention strategies for early-onset CRC.
