Core Tip
Core Tip: This study highlights the significant role of lifestyle factors in the progression of colorectal polyps and early stage cancer. Physical activity, healthy dietary patterns, and good sleep quality are associated with a reduced risk of disease progression, whereas smoking and poor sleep quality increase this risk. These findings emphasize the importance of lifestyle modifications in managing colorectal neoplasia and suggest that lifestyle assessments should be integrated into the clinical care of patients with colorectal polyps or early stage cancer.
