Abstract
Objective: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second and third most common cancer in women and men worldwide, respectively. Nutrition, one of the modifiable risk factors, especially the Mediterranean diet (MD), is an important tool in the prevention of CRC. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between CRC awareness' components and CRC risk scores.
