Chronic inflammation may be quietly reshaping the colon and making it more vulnerable to early-onset colorectal cancer. Scientists found that colon tissue in younger patients was stiffer, even in ...

A UT Dallas and UT Southwestern study found tumors in younger patients develop in scar-like colon tissue - changes that may occur before cancer forms. Last month, actor James Van Der Beek died of ...

Time-weighted ctDNA dynamics for precision monitoring of relapse risk in colon cancer. Postoperative cfDNA levels and ctDNA detection rates in patients with stage II colon cancer screened for ...

Andi Breitowich works across digital and print magazines covering health, fitness, nutrition, and the latest trends. Her work has appeared in Women's Health, POPSUGAR, Cosmopolitan, Men's Health, and ...

One of the largest studies to examine the prognostic value of a tissue-free circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) assay that detects molecular residual disease (MRD) in resected stage III colon cancer showed ...

The model detects genetic alterations and resulting tissue changes in colorectal cancer directly from tissue section images. This could enable faster and more cost-effective diagnostics in the future.

A newly uncovered immune chain reaction in the gut may explain why people with inflammatory bowel disease face a much higher risk of colorectal cancer. Researchers found that a powerful inflammatory ...

Colon cancer diagnosis involves colonoscopy, imaging, and blood tests, with staging guiding treatment decisions. Stage 1 treatment typically involves surgery, while stage 2 may include chemotherapy ...

Gut health plays an important role in both the development and progression of colon cancer. Diet and a balanced microbiome are important factors in reducing the risk of colon cancer. The health of the ...
