Study uncovers potential 'silver bullet' for preventing and treating colon cancer. In preclinical experiments, researchers have uncovered a new way in which colon cancer develops, as well as a potential 'silver bullet' for preventing and treating it. The findings may extend to ovarian, breast, lung, prostate and potentially other cancers that depend on the same mechanism for growth. Source 9l.

Bacteria play critical role in driving colon cancers. Patients with an inherited form of colon cancer harbor two bacterial species that collaborate to encourage development of the disease, and the same species have been found in people who develop a sporadic form of colon cancer, a research team finds.

Colon Cancer

Colon cancer is caused by bacteria and cell stress. Scientists have made an unexpected discovery while investigating the triggering factors of colon cancer: Cell stress in combination with an altered microbiota in the colon drives tumor growth. Previously, it was assumed that this combination only contributes to inflammatory intestinal diseases. Source 1a.
