摘要

在台灣，因為飲食習慣逐漸西化，大腸直腸癌的發生率持續增加，近年來年輕之病例有增加之趨勢，都會區的發生率則高於鄉村。研究顯示許多環境因素與大腸直腸癌有關，包括蔬菜水果的攝取、酒精、運動等。美國由於癌症篩檢的推廣，大腸直腸癌發生率逐漸降低，值得作為借鏡。

並列摘要

In Taiwan, the incidence of colorectal cancer is increasing as lifestyles and diets have become more westernized. There is a tendency for more young cases, while the incidence is higher in urban areas than in rural areas. Studies have shown that some environmental factors are associated with the development of colorectal cancer, including intake of fiber or vegetables, alcohol, and physical activity. In the United States, by contrast, the incidence of colorectal cancer is declining because of advances in cancer screening. The importance of cancer screening cannot be overemphasized.
