Study links E. coli toxin colibactin to early-onset colorectal cancer in young adults.
A new study by the University of California, San Diego, links colibactin, a toxin produced by certain E. coli strains, to early-onset colorectal cancer.
Analyzing tissue samples from nearly 1,000 patients worldwide, researchers found that most had cancer mutations indicating past colibactin exposure during childhood.
While not conclusive, the study suggests that colibactin and environmental factors like diet and lifestyle may contribute to rising colorectal cancer rates in young adults.
