The "western" lifestyle that comes with a country's growing economy is thought to be behind the increase in rates. Colorectal cancer is the third most common type of cancer in the world. It affected 1.4 million people in 2012 and is predicted to increase by 60%, to more than 2.2 million cases -- and 1.1 million deaths -- by 2030. This form of cancer is a common result of poor lifestyle choices such as a bad diet, low levels of exercise, smoking and drinking excessive alcohol. More importantly, this type of cancer was found to be on the rise in low and middle-income countries as their economies develop. Decades ago you did not see so much of it in low-income countries. There were more infection-related cancers. But today, lifestyle diseases -- and cancers -- are making more of an appearance. Countries where colorectal cancer numbers -- and death rates -- were on the rise include China, Russia, and Brazil, which have all undergone rapid economic development over the past decade. Bowel cancer is a slow growing disease and the symptoms only develop at a later stage. Symptoms mainly affect the bowel and abdomen region and include blood in feces, pain in the abdomen or back passage, or lumps in that same region. Early detection is important and drives down the mortality. Once symptoms have developed, it is likely the cancer will have spread. Primary prevention is key, through increased awareness and healthier lifestyle. Early detection and increasing opportunities for screening in all affected countries and not just the affluent ones are also important. These measures, in turn, would benefit other disease epidemics, such as obesity and diabetes. Obesity is known to be linked with colorectal cancer. ( ) 36. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? (A) There is a relationship between overweight and colorectal cancer. (B) Colorectal cancer generally results from poor lifestyle choices. (C) Bowel cancer can be found easily at the early stage. (D) In Russia, colorectal cancer numbers were rising.
