Globally, colorectal cancer (CRC) occupies fourth place and reaches an incidence of more than 20% in men and around 16% in women. On the other hand, adherence to a Mediterranean diet is associated with a reduced risk of metabolic diseases and cancer. Therefore, the objective of this review was to determine whether the consumption of a Mediterranean diet can reduce the risk of colorectal cancer. For the development of this review, the principles of evidence-based nutrition were used as a methodology. For this reason, a systematic search was carried out in 5 databases, Scopus, WOS, Pubmed, Embase and Science Direct, from the last 5 years, which allow us to answer the research question related to the consumption of the Mediterranean diet and the risk of cancer. colorectal in adults. After the selection of articles, they were evaluated through a critical reading tool to determine the degree of recommendation and level of evidence. Finally, the article with the highest degree of evidence is developed in the critical commentary, in order to extract recommendations for the professional practice of nutritionists and other health professionals. It was found that greater adherence to a Mediterranean diet is associated with a reduction in the incidence of colorectal cancer, which is detailed in the critical commentary.
