Childhood bacteria exposure linked to the surge in young adult colon cancer diagnoses, study finds
A new study conducted by researchers from UC San Diego explored how exposure to a specific bacteria in childhood could be behind the surge in colon cancer diagnoses among young adults. They found that the bacterial toxin colibactin could lead to the specific cell mutation that causes colon cancer.
Childhood exposure to bacterial toxin may be triggering colorectal cancer epidemic among the young
An international team has identified a potential microbial culprit behind the alarming rise in early-onset colorectal cancer: a bacterial toxin called colibactin. Scientists report that exposure to colibactin in early childhood imprints a distinct genetic signature on the DNA of colon cells -- one that may increase the risk of developing colorectal cancer before the age of 50.
