The importance of an up-to-date evidence based diet planning for colorectal cancer patients

Colorectal cancer is the only cancer showing strikingly high correlation with the diet, while inheritance plays minor role. Around the globe, screening actions have taken, but still statistical data are striking. Colorectal cancer is the third major death cause of cancers world- wide. Still, in some countries colorectal cancer incidence is stabilized or decreased, but for developing countries, rates continue to rise. Nutritional guidelines need constant update because of the large number of ongoing studies that are showing potentials of some foods and nutrients. Also, for some foods and nutrients, effectiveness in terms of modulating the risk of colorectal cancer and their potentials have been disapproved. Therefore, proper up-to-date evidence based diet planning for patients with colorectal cancer is a necessity.
