Physical activity and risk of colon adenoma: a meta-analysis.
Regular exercise may help cut down the risk of colon cancer.

The research team discovered that engaging in physical activities consistently resulted in a lower risk of colon cancer. This study adds to the evidence that individuals can reduce their risk of colon cancer by exercising regularly.
