Even after inflammation resolves, colonic stem cells can retain a hidden molecular memory that increases the likelihood of later tumour growth, offering a new mechanistic link between chronic inflammatory disease and cancer risk.

Early-onset colorectal cancer is expected to be one of the leading causes of death for adults between the ages of 20 and 49 by 2030, unless cancer is caught at an earlier stage A simple, high-accuracy blood test may transform outcomes for patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), Irish scientists believe. Researchers from Trinity College Dublin, … Read more
Chronic inflammation can raise a person’s risk of cancer, and a new study reveals key details about how that might happen in the gut and points to better ways to identify and reduce risk. Scientists at the Broad Institute and Harvard University have revealed in mice that after colitis, or chronic intestinal inflammation, seemingly healed … Read more
Even at pharmacological doses that flood the colon but barely enter the bloodstream, curcumin’s effects on the gut microbiome proved temporary, highlighting the remarkable resilience of the human microbial ecosystem. Study: Effect of curcumin on the gut microbiota of patients with ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease and healthy participants. Image Credit: Faizal Ramli / Shutterstock In … Read more
More cases of colorectal cancer are detected at an early stage with screening. This is according to new research based on data from over 278,000 60-year-olds, who were randomly selected to undergo one of two interventions or no screening at all (usual care). The study, which is a collaboration between Uppsala University and Karolinska Institutet, … Read more
Adults living in rural communities often travel long distances when seeking treatment for cancer, but distant travel may not always be necessary to receive high-quality surgical care, according to a new analysis published in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons (JACS). The analysis, focused on adults with colon or lung cancer living in … Read more
Researchers at Åbo Akademi University have identified a new molecular change in patients with colorectal cancer and developed a genetic disease model that forms tumors in the large intestine, resembling those seen in patients. This novel model helps scientists better understand how the disease develops and supports the search for new treatments. Colorectal cancer is … Read more

Exercise slashes the risk of death in patients with colon cancer by more than a third, a trial has found. Physical activity could also prevent the disease from coming back, as well as lifting mood, reducing fatigue and boosting strength, according to researchers. Colon cancer develops in the part of the large intestine known as … Read more
