New Delhi, Dec 24 (IANS) Chronic inflammation is likely to increase the stiffness of the colon, which may in turn increase the development and progression of early-onset colorectal cancer (CRC), according to a study. CRCs that are not caused by genetic syndromes and that occur at an average age of over 50 are known as […] The post Study shows a stiffer colon may raise the risk of early-onset colorectal cancer appeared first on tennews.in: Nation…

Colon stiffness may signal early-onset colorectal cancer

Scientists from UT Southwestern Medical Center and the University of Texas at Dallas have found a possible reason why more younger adults are developing colorectal cancer (CRC). Their new study shows that when the colon becomes stiff due to long-term inflammation, it may increase the risk of early-onset CRC. This finding could help improve how […] The post Colon stiffness may signal early-onset colorectal cancer appeared first on Knowridge Scien…
