Dietary risk factors for colorectal adenomatous polyps: a mini review

At least 6 million deaths occurred worldwide are due to cancer and this figure is expected to rise to 15 millions by the year 2020. Colorectal cancer is among the most commonly occurring cancers both globally and in Malaysia. Numerous studies have shown significant relationships between various diet...

Colorectal cancer is among the most commonly occurring cancers both globally and in Malaysia.
