Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks as the third most common cancer worldwide, with its incidence steadily increasing due to an aging demographic and various lifestyle-related risk factors, including poor nutrition, tobacco use, sedentary behaviour and obesity. These factors promote the risk of colorectal cancer by inducing chronic colonic inflammation, a principal catalyst of carcinogenesis. This review delves into evidence that suggests that metabolic abnormalities mediated through inflammatory responses are fundamental in the progression of CRC.
