Who Are at High Risk for Colorectal Cancer? Key Risk Factors and Incidence
Colorectal cancer (also known as colon or rectal cancer) is one of the most common cancers in Hong Kong. According to the Department of Health, colorectal cancer has ranked first in incidence among all cancers in Hong Kong for several consecutive years, with over 5,000 new cases reported annually. Although many cases show no obvious symptoms in the early stages, early identification of high-risk factors, combined with regular screening and lifestyle adjustments, can significantly reduce risk.
