Genetics, lifestyle and environmental factors all play a role in whether someone will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer.

A new survey from The Ohio State University found that more than half of Americans don’t know alcohol consumption can contribute to colorectal cancer.
The survey also found that many Americans don’t know that diet, obesity and lack of exercise are also risk factors for this type of cancer.
While the overall rate of colorectal cancer is declining, rates of the disease are rising among Americans 50 and younger.
