Young Scientists Uncover Root Cause of Rising Colon Cancer in Young Adults - MSN

Analysis suggests deaths from colon cancer overall in the UK are set to rise by 2,500 a year between now and Scientists find the cause of mystery colon cancers in young people.

Scientists investigating an alarming rise in bowel cancer in young adults have identified the bacterial toxin colibactin as a potential culprit, with childhood exposure perhaps increasing the risk of later cancer development. (or colorectal) cancer is on course to be the leading cancer-related cause of death in young adults in the next few

Experts examined 981 colorectal (bowel) cancer genomes from patients with both early and late-onset disease in 11 different countries. They found colibactin can leave behind specific patterns of

Colorectal cancer is the fourth most common cancer, with roughly 150,000 Americans diagnosed with it every year. It's also the second most leading cause of death by cancer, killing around 50,000

Once considered a disease of older adults, colorectal cancer is now on the rise among young people in at least 27 countries. Its incidence in adults under 50 has roughly doubled every decade for the past 20 years. If current trends continue, colorectal cancer is projected to become the leading cause of cancer-related death among young adults by

Scientists have a new clue in the mystery of why younger people are getting more colon cancer. It may have to do with a toxin produced by a common gut microbe. The study is a new clue into the

The new study sequenced the DNA of colorectal cancer tumors collected from 981 patients in 11 countries around the world, and found that colibactin-related DNA mutations were 3.3 times more common

"Still, the scale of colibactin's impact in our study was striking, and it stands as the first clearly identified factor linked to the rising of early-onset colorectal cancer," he added. 4

Scientists researching the potential causes of colon cancer may have found a major warning sign for younger people to be on the lookout for. Colon cancer rates among young people are growing at a

A gene called high mobility group A1 (HMGA1) may be the key that opens the door to the development of colon cancer, according to research led by investigators from the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, Johns Hopkins Department of Medicine, Johns Hopkins Department of Pathology and the Johns Hopkins Institute for Cell Engineering The study, published Feb. 3 in the Journal of Clinical
