A new study by scientists from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), published today in the British Journal of Cancer (BJC), investigates the link between levels of physical activity and risk of colorectal cancer. Using observational studies based on more than 430 000 men and women in the United Kingdom, the study showed that higher levels of physical activity were associated with lower risk of colon cancer and that higher levels of sedentary behaviour (television watching) were associated with increased risk of colon cancer.
