Study links gut bacteria to precancerous growth, paving the way for microbial testing of colorectal cancer risk
SINGAPORE – A new study led by a team of local researchers has found that certain types of gut bacteria are associated with certain precancerous colorectal polyps. Polyps are growths on the lining of the colon that can become cancerous over time if not removed. This finding raises the possibility of using microbial testing kits […]

Some gut bacteria are associated with precancerous colon polyps
They collected information about health, diet, medications, and lifestyle, and analyzed stool samples to determine the bacterial composition of the study group’s gut microbiome. This new study is the largest from the Gastrointestinal Disease and Endoscopy Registry (GIDER), Massachusetts General’s extensive collaborative research program, allowing researchers to better understand gastrointestinal diseases than ever before. It […]
