New search can link a species of bacteria that live in our digestive system for the development of symptoms of colon cancer.
Home to many species, including some "good" and some "bad" , our digestive system provides these microbes a place to live , and in return , help digestion and the formation of the immune system of the body . In susceptible individuals , this harmless organism causes changes in DNA that may be a precursor to cancer.
The agency , known by scientists as Enteric facials (E. facials or , for short) lives quietly in most of our digestive system, and certainly not everyone colon cancer develops.
For scientific reasons not yet understood, in some people, the body produces a known super oxide molecule of oxygen that cause changes in the DNA and rapid action related to cancer gene .
The research, conducted by the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Oklahoma City , explained how colon cells reacted laboratory for bacteria in the " fermentation ".
In total, 42 genes associated with key processes in the cells of the body have been modified by the presence of E. facials .
Experts in the UK also agreed that the bacteria may be possible culprits in the colon . Dr Barry Campbell, from the University of Liverpool agrees that E. facials , may be involved , but also believed that other bacteria in the intestine plays a role in the changes in the cells which finally focuses on tumors. He insists :
" There will be only one culprit Our team is interested in a particular type of E. coli in mind, there are many other factors involved , such as genetics and the environment ... "
And while the experts to find out what can be the root of the problem, there are things you can do now to reduce your risk .
A healthy lifestyle where you eat well, exercise , do not smoke or drink excessively are important first steps. Keep your weight under control, not only reduce your risk of colon cancer , it will look better and feel better.Colon cancer each year claimed nearly 50,000 lives, with more than 100 000 newly diagnosed with symptoms of colon cancer patients . The treatments include surgery , chemotherapy , radiotherapy , immunoassay and vaccine therapy . Clinical trials are also underway to give promising new tracks all the time.
