It is widely accepted that carcinoma of the large bowel is common in the Western world because we eat a low residue diet which causes faecal stasis. The part of the large bowel with the most stasis is the appendix, which has similar mucosa; but the incidence of carcinoma per unit area of appendicular mucosa is four times less than carcinoma per unit area of large bowel. Therefore, faecal stasis is probably not important in the aetiology of carcinoma of the appendix.
人们普遍认为，在西方世界，大肠癌很常见，因为我们食用的低残渣饮食会导致粪便淤滞。大肠中淤滞最严重的部分是阑尾，其黏膜与之相似；但阑尾黏膜每单位面积的癌变发生率比大肠每单位面积的癌变发生率低四倍。因此，粪便淤滞在阑尾癌的病因中可能并不重要。
