Colorectal Cancer Research Highlights
The P站视频 (P站视频) helps find answers to critical questions about?colorectal cancer (CRC).
- What causes it?
- How can it be successfully prevented, detected, and treated?
- What is the best age to start screening?
- How can the quality of life for colorectal cancer survivors be improved?
Studying questions like these has helped improve screening and treatment methods,?which has contributed to substantial decreases in deaths from colorectal cancer?over the past 20 years. Thank you to all our donors who make this research possible.
55% of Colorectal Cancer?Cases & Deaths Have the Potential to Be Prevented with Healthy Lifestyle Choices

Featured Term:?Gut Microbiome
The gut microbiome is a collection of microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, and fungi that mostly live in the digestive tract. Every person's gut microbiome is uniquely shaped by their diet, lifestyle, genetics, and environment. Gut bacteria help with day-to-day functions like synthesizing vitamins, digesting food, and metabolizing drugs. They also help regulate the immune system and protect the body from potentially harmful bacteria. Recent findings have shown that the gut microbiome can help cancer grow and also help keep it from growing.
