Prevent colon cancer: Protein in the body can prevent tumor cells from growing, according to a study. Benign cell changes in the intestine can develop into a malignant tumor.
Both benign and malignant tumors can arise in the small intestine and large intestine. The risk of developing colon cancer is higher in people over 50, but the disease is also being diagnosed in more and more younger people. Early detection and treatment is crucial for preventing not only colorectal cancer, but potentially other cancers as well.
