When people migrate from low-incidence countries, such as Japan or Africa, to a high-incidence country such as the United States, the rates of disease among their offspring increase to those of their adopted country. This indicates that there is something in the environment that is responsible. If we could identify and modify these environmental factors, we could prevent colorectal cancer.
