Gut bacterial toxins involved in about half of colorectal cancers in Japanese people; 70% of cases in those aged 40 and under; University of Tokyo and Osaka University analyzed whole genomes of 200 patients
The paper "Prevalence and chronology of colibactin-associated mutational processes and their microbiome spectra in Japanese colorectal cancer," published in the scientific journal Nature Genetics by researchers affiliated with the University of Tokyo Institute of Medical Science, Osaka University, the National Cancer Center, and Tokyo University of Science, is a research report that identified the involvement of specific gut bacteria in the development of colorectal cancer in Japanese people.
