The new study shows we “have an opportunity to intervene and prevent colorectal cancer from forming.” said co-corresponding author Daniel C. Chung, MD, medical co-director of the Center for Cancer Risk Assessment at the Mass General Cancer Center and a faculty member of the Gastroenterology Division. Colorectal cancer is America’s second leading cause of cancer-related deaths.
Medical Express adds that risk factors for colorectal cancer and polyps influences the bacteria that live in our intestines through lifestyle factors like being overweight or obese, low physical activity levels, a diet high in red and processed meats, smoking, and alcohol use.
The researchers took data from 1,200 people getting routine screening colonoscopies and gathering information about their lifestyle habits, as well as stool samples.
