“…In addition, there is no relationship between alcohol use and colorectal cancer in this study and it is consistent with the findings of other studies (41,42). Cho and colleagues have shown that low alcohol consumption with low risk and high use would increase the risk but overally there was no significant differences between alcohol consumption and risk of colorectal cancer (21).…”

Background: Colorectal cancers, including colon, rectum and anus, are relatively prevalent in Iran. Use of opium and its derivatives is also considerably prevalent in some areas in Iran. Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the association between use of opium and its derivatives, and incidence of lower gastrointestinal (LGI) cancers. Methods: This study was a matched case-control study in Shiraz (south of Iran). Cases were the new colorectal cancers from cancer registry center of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences and controls were selected from healthy volunteers of cases' neighbors matched for age and gender (2 controls per 1 case). Data related to consumption of opium and its derivatives, smoking, alcohol use and diet status were collected through a structured questionnaire. The conditional logistic regression models were used to assess all associations. Results: 160 cases and 320 controls participated in the present study with non-response rate less than 9 %. Opium use was associated with increased risk of colorectal cancer (adjusted OR = 4.4; 95% CI: 2.2 -8.8). Also, a dose-response association was observed between cumulative consumption of opium and the colorectal cancer incidence (OR = 3.8; 95% CI: 1.5 -9.1), and (OR = 4.6; 95% CI: 1.7 -12.0) for low and high use, respectively. Also, the significant dose-response association was observed for low (OR = 3.4; 95% CI: 1.2 -9.2) and high (OR = 7.7; 95% CI: 1.5 -38.6) opium use with presence of colon cancer. Conclusions:The results of this study showed that opium use can be an important risk factor for colorectal cancer in Iran.

“…He et al showed in their study the odd ratio of effecting with colorectal cancer is 1.32 in smokers [8]. The results of our study showed that there was not any significant association between the consumption of hookah and opium with colorectal cancer and this is constant with the results of Moshfeghi et al [9] and Kim et al studies [10]. Many individuals with addictive behavior don't report taking drugs and hide it therefore, it is estimated that the consumption of opium is more than it is reported.…”

Background: This study was designed to investigate the role of lifestyle factors associated with colorectal cancer risk in the population living in Yazd city. Methods: This case-control study was conducted on 60 patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer and 120 subjects without any sign of colorectal cancer in the city of Yazd. Data was analyzed through SPSS16 and by using Chi-square test and Logistic regression. Results: The logistic regression model showed that smoking (OR = 7.79, P = 0.04) and History of diabetes (OR = 7.31, P = 0.04) were considered as associated risk factors for colorectal cancer. Conclusions:The present study showed that smoking and history of diabetes were positively associated with colorectal carcinoma.

“…The differences in adenoma prevalence between these studies were substantial (and varied between 0.14 [27] and 0.33 [28] at age 55 for example). Some Asian studies reported relatively high adenoma prevalence [28][29][30], and a German study relatively low [31]. This is the opposite of what one would expect based on the CRC incidence in these countries.…”
