Just like how a garden thrives or withers based on the types of helpful or harmful bugs that live in it, it seems that the ecosystem of microorganisms in our bodies, known as the microbiome, may also have an impact on the development of colon cancer in younger individuals. Recent research has found that younger people diagnosed with colorectal cancer tend to have more aggressive tumors and distinct shifts in their microbiomes compared to older patients. These findings raise important questions about the relationship between the microbiome and colon cancer in younger populations. While it’s still unclear whether these changes in the gut bugs directly contribute to cancer or are merely a consequence of the disease, they highlight the need for further investigation into this fascinating area of research. To learn more about the potential link between microbiome changes and colon cancer in young people, check out the full study!
With colon cancer on the rise among younger Americans, researchers are working to figure out why. A new study suggests the microbiome – the community of microorganisms in the body – may play a role. “Younger people with colorectal cancer have more biologically aggressive…
