Identifying the factors influencing this progression is crucial for early intervention and prevention. Although genetic and environmental factors have been widely studied, the role of lifestyle factors such as physical activity, diet, smoking, sleep, and stress remains underexplored, especially in patients with early stage CRC or polyps. Recent evidence suggests that lifestyle behaviors may influence cancer progression by modulating inflammatory pathways, metabolic health, and immune function. For instance, high levels of physical activity are linked to a reduced risk of CRC development, whereas poor dietary habits, smoking, and inadequate sleep have all been implicated in increased cancer risk and progression. Moreover, early-stage CRC patients, who are often asymptomatic or have minimal symptoms, may particularly benefit from lifestyle modifications to slow disease progression and improve overall prognosis. The gap in understanding the specific influence of these lifestyle factors on colorectal polyps and early stage cancer progression underscores the need for comprehensive studies. By assessing several modifiable lifestyle factors and their association with disease progression, clinicians can identify practical intervention points. These interventions could ultimately reduce the need for more aggressive treatments and improve the long-term outcomes in affected patients.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aim: &lt;/strong&gt;To investigate the association between lifestyle factors and disease progression in patients with colorectal polyps and early stage cancer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;In this observational study conducted from January 2022 to December 2023, we recruited 120 patients with colorectal polyps or early stage cancer from Jiangshan People's Hospital. Lifestyle factors, including physical activity, dietary patterns, smoking status, sleep quality, and stress levels, were assessed using validated questionnaires. Disease progression was evaluated using standardized follow-up colonoscopies and pathological examinations. Cox proportional hazards models were used to analyze the association between lifestyle factors and disease progression after adjusting for potential confounders.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;During the median follow-up of 18.4 months, 42 (35.0%) patients experienced disease progression.

Here, we explore the current challenges of utilizing cfDNA in the screening and prognostication of CRC but also for detecting driver mutations in healthy, presymptomatic patients with normal colonic crypts. CfDNA for the detection of cancerous or premalignant colonic lesions has already been extensively explored, however few have considered utilizing cfDNA in the detection of driver mutations in healthy patients. Theoretically, this would allow us to detect patients who are at a higher risk of tumorigenesis decades in advance of established malignancy and stratify them into higher risk groups for early-intervention screening programs.
