The American Cancer Society (快猫短视频) helps find answers to critical questions about?colorectal cancer (CRC).
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.
Improvements in incidence rates and death rates for colorectal cancer are due to changing patterns in risk factors, earlier detection through the widespread use of screening,?and improvements in treatment,?but those improvements are limited to older adults.?
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.
