Paper Summary:

The paper discusses colon cancer, a specific type of cancer that has been shown to be influenced by both genetic elements and lifestyle factors. The paper examines how the risk of cancer to the individual may be affected by both, and while nothing can be done about the existence of family history or genetic factors in the make-up of the individual, much can be done to address those lifestyle factors that may contribute to the development of this type of cancer. The paper concludes that an increase in physical activity and changes in diet can dramatically lower a person's predisposition to colon cancer.

From the Paper:

"Overweight, and a lack of activity, is believed to be one of the major reasons for the increase in an overweight condition in the U.S., with increased TV watching linked to excessive weight. Both men and women are at risk for colon cancer, with African-Americans more at risk than whites. Regular screenings are essential because there are no symptoms in the early stages of the disease."
