Maintaining a healthy diet can help prevent the development of colonic polyps. This includes eating more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean meat. You may also be able to prevent polyps by increasing your intake of vitamin D and calcium.[healthline.com]
For this reason, doctors recommend regular screening tests to help prevent colon cancer by identifying and removing polyps before they turn into cancer.[mayoclinic.org]
Colon cancer is preventable with proper screening because polyps usually take a long time to grow and become cancerous. Following guidelines about when and how to be screened are the best way to find colon cancer early or even to prevent it.[verywell.com]
Other Important Risk Factors for Colon Cancer Though colon cancer is very preventable, there are still a number of important risk factors that people can’t control.[siteman.wustl.edu]
