When it comes to colorectal cancer, we’re all at risk at least a little, says Ulrike “Riki” Peters, PhD, MPH, a molecular and genetic epidemiologist with Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center.
“Many people have average risk, some people have much lower risk and some are at really high risk. But people generally wouldn’t know if they’re at high risk,” said Peters, who has focused on both the genetic variants and environmental risk factors that can drive these cancers for over a decade.
