STANDARD STATEMENT:

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common malignant neoplasm worldwide and the (mortality colorectal CA in the PHil) leading cause of death in the Philippines. Colorectal Cancer was said to be a result of different complex interactions between inherited susceptibility and environmental factors. Factors under Environment include lifestyle and diet. The Group focuses on the diet and lifestyle among people to reduce risk of developing Colorectal Cancer. We aim to modify the said risk factors that may lead to development of cancer.

II.

RATIONALE:

(statisitics of Colon Cancer in Ilocos and Abra) Diet and lifestyle modification offer means of reducing risk of developing colon cancer. A study conducted by the National Cancer Institute has concluded that as much as 90 percent of all cancer in humans has been attributed to environmental factors, including diet. Dietary modification would have the greatest effect on the incidence of the cancers of the stomach and large bowel. It may not be possible to specify a diet that will guarantee that cancer can be completely eliminated, as there are other factors involved, certain diet modifications would generally help.

III.

STRUCTURE CRITERIA:
