Resolution of the round table “Possibilities for modification of colorectal cancer progression risk factors in guidelines of the professional associations”

In the article, evidence-based data on modifiable risk factors of colorectal cancer recurrence are presented. The possibility of supplementing the existing clinical practice guidelines with information on the effect of lifestyle and behavioral changes on overall and recurrence-free survival is discussed. Maintaining a high level of physical activity and smoking cessation can significantly improve long-term treatment outcomes. Data on the role of diet and alcohol consumption are contradictory and do not allow to make clear recommendations.
