TL;DR
Increased central adiposity and a lack of regular physical activity prior to the diagnosis of colorectal cancer is associated with poorer overall and disease specific survival.

It is found that ras-gene mutations occurred in 58 percent of adenomas larger than 1 cm and in 47 percent of carcinomas, which are consistent with a model of colorectal tumorigenesis in which the steps required for the development of cancer often involve the mutational activation of an oncogene coupled with the loss of several genes that normally suppress tumors.

The hypotheses that physical inactivity, obesity, and height increase the risk for colon cancer and adenoma independently of each other and of diet are addressed, and that the abdominal pattern of obesity is an additional independent risk factor are addressed.

311 Citations2004Lynn L. Moore, M. Loring Bradlee +5 more
It is suggested that waist circumference is a stronger predictor of colon cancer risk than is BMI, and that central obesity is responsible for an increased risk of cancer of both the proximal and distal colon.

It is indicated that greater attention should be placed on social strategies to increase physical activity as a means of preventing colon cancer.
CancerInfluence of body mass index on outcomes and treatment‐related toxicity in patients with colon carcinoma
309 Citations2003Jeffrey A. Meyerhardt, Paul J. Catalano +5 more
Obesity is a risk factor for the development of colon carcinoma and the influence of body mass index (BMI) on long‐term outcomes and treatment‐related toxicity in patients with colon cancer has not been well characterized.

294 Citations2001T I Lund Nilsen, Lars J. Vatten
The positive association between diabetes, blood glucose, and colorectal cancer in women, at least in part, support the hypothesis that insulin may act as a tumour promoter in coloreCTal carcinogenesis, and the inverse association with leisure-time physical activity in men is found to be negative.

increasing BMI in male patients with rectal cancer is associated with a decreased likelihood of sphincter preservation and a higher chance of local recurrence, suggesting that actual body weight dosing of fluorouracil for obese patients is justified.
