Abstrakt: The article examines the effect of alcoholism and tobacco use on the development of colorectal cancer. It was discovered that people who smoke and drink have the tendency to develop colorectal cancer at a younger age. Being male is also one factor in the early development of the cancer. Therefore, alcohol and tobacco use and male gender increased the probability of distal cancers.
