Abstract

Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is a diet-related disease. The high incidence of CRC is related to the excessive consumption of certain foods and a westernized lifestyle of contemporary societies. Obesity and low physical activity remain significant risk factors for CRC development. Molecular pathogenesis of CRC is fairly well recognized, which contributes to the formulation of hypotheses and conducting research on the participation of nutritional factors in the CRC development. This contribution remains diverse and for many food components a protective effect on colorectal carcinogenesis has been demonstrated. The aim of this review is to present a relationship between consumption of two selected components of the diet - fiber and milk - and the development of colorectal carcinoma, based on the review of literature.

Keywords: colorectal carcinoma; fiber; milk; nutrition.
