The benefits of drinking coffee can drinking coffee reduce the risk of colon cancer?

The study involved nearly 1000 patients with colon cancer, and the researchers surveyed their coffee drinking habits during the early stages of the study and a year later. The results showed that among the colon cancer patients with stage III who received surgery and chemotherapy, patients who drank more than four cups of coffee (about 460mg caffeine) a day benefited the most, with a 42 per cent lower risk of cancer recurrence and a 33 per cent lower risk of death from cancer or other factors than those who did not drink coffee. The benefits of drinking two to three cups of coffee a day were moderate, while those who drank only one cup of coffee or no coffee a day did not.

The researchers point out that although this study shows that drinking coffee can help prevent colon cancer recurrence after treatment, other studies are still needed to further verify the results, otherwise no guidance can be given to patients. Patients with coffee drinking habits who are being treated for colon cancer should continue this habit, but if the patients are not in the habit of drinking coffee, whether they should start drinking coffee or not, you still need to communicate with your attending doctor before making a decision.
