Spatial analysis of risk factors related to colorectal cancer in Iran: An ecological study
This study showed that (CC) high-risk areas are located in central and northern parts of Iran, and the significant risk factors related to CC and RC were found to be tobacco use, cigarette smoking, and abdominal obesity. These findings are helpful to inform policymakers to plan screening services to reduce CC and RC, especially in high-risk populations.
