Question 5 of 5
In carcinoma of the colon:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The adenoma-dysplasia-carcinoma sequence probably occurs in all colon cancers; however, stalked polyps are less common in the right side of the colon and cancers can arise in flat, often small, adenomas. The interval for transition from adenoma to carcinoma is on average 10 years. High fat and low fibre intake is positively associated with increased risk of colon cancer. Increased intake of fruit and vegetable is probably protective. Only patients who have ulcerative colitis involving most of the colon have significantly increased risk, which begins to rise 8 years after diagnosis.
