My Aunt has Colon Cancer. She has smoked all her life. Was that the cause of Cancer?

It's possible the smoking did cause it or contribute to it. Smoking for years can cause many types of cancer as scientist say its a risk factor. I think right now u should focus on helping her get better and make sure she stops smoking as smoking could interfere with her getting better. Best of luck! I hope she gets better soon.

I doubt it very much. There are many things in our environent that poisen our bodys. Even the food and water we drink. I wish her well.

No one knows the cause of cancer, but smoking is a risk factor for a few cancers and colon cancer is one of them.

im curious, why do people capitalize the word cancer?

There's a lot we don't know about cancer, but I seriously doubt smoking has anything to do with her colon cancer. Smoking causes lung cancer, and sometimes cancer of the throat or mouth. Cigarettes cause the most damage to your respiratory system, not your digestive system (where your colon is.)
