Joseph Bradley+FollowChildhood Gut Bug Linked to Colon Cancer?Wild new research just dropped: scientists think a gut bacteria you pick up as a kid could be the reason colon cancer is spiking in young adults. The culprit? A toxin from certain E. coli strains called colibactin, which leaves a DNA "fingerprint" in your colon—sometimes decades before cancer shows up. About 15% of early cancer-driving mutations are linked to this bug! Researchers are now working on a test to catch these changes early. Crazy how something from childhood could come back like this! #ColonCancer #HealthNews #GutHealth #ScienceUpdate #EarlyDetection #Health230Share
Kristi Key+FollowEarly Cancer Clues in a Simple Blood Test?Liquid biopsy is shaking up cancer screening—imagine spotting cancer super early with just a blood test! It’s non-invasive and can catch signs of lung, breast, and colon cancers before symptoms even show. Tests like Epi proColon are already FDA-approved. The catch? It’s not perfect yet—early-stage cancers are still tricky to detect, and more research is needed. But this tech could totally change how we find and fight cancer! #LiquidBiopsy #CancerScreening #HealthTech #EarlyDetection #MedicalBreakthrough #Health312Share
Ryan Lewis+FollowAI Blood Test Spots Cancer Crazy Early!A new AI-powered blood test, miONCO-Dx, can spot a dozen cancers—including bowel cancer—before you even feel sick. Early trials show it’s 99% accurate! The UK is backing a huge trial at the BowelBabe Lab (named after Dame Deborah James) to see if this test could become a game-changer for early cancer detection in the NHS. Imagine catching cancer before symptoms even show up! #CancerResearch #EarlyDetection #AIHealth #NHS #MedicalBreakthrough #Health383Share
Lori Elliott+FollowHockey Playoffs + Cancer Screening? Genius!Who knew playoff season could help save lives? AstraZeneca and the NHL are back with their Get Body Checked Against Cancer campaign, using all the Stanley Cup hype to remind fans to get screened for cancer. Erin Andrews (cancer survivor and hockey superfan) is leading the charge this year, plus there’s a limited-edition T-shirt and a team challenge to see which fans pledge to get checked. Early detection = game changer. Let’s make cancer screenings as routine as playoff snacks! #HockeyFightsCancer #StanleyCup #GetBodyChecked #CancerAwareness #EarlyDetection #Health90Share
