Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide, especially in developed countries where an estimated 60% of all cases occur. There is evidence of a higher risk in Western society whose behaviours are characterised by higher consumption of red and processed meat than in people living along Mediterranean coast, who have a decreased overall cancer mortality correlated to eating habits such as Mediterranean Diet.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide, especially in developed countries where an estimated 60% of all cases occur. There is evidence of a higher risk in Western society whose behaviours are characterised by higher consumption of red and processed meat than in people living along Mediterranean coast, who have a decreased overall cancer mortality correlated to eating habits such as Mediterranean Diet. Aim: This review evaluate the correlation between 3 components of MedD (olive oil, red wine and tomatoes) and incidence and progression of CRC.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
