Summary
New research suggests colon cancer may begin developing in childhood, long before symptoms appear. Scientists found that adults diagnosed before age 40 are more likely to carry DNA mutations linked to early exposure to colibactin, a toxin produced by certain E. coli strains. This damage can remain hidden for decades. The findings may explain rising colon cancer rates among younger adults, many without traditional risk factors. Cases in people under 50 are increasing rapidly, prompting concern. Experts say the research could reshape prevention and screening strategies, emphasizing early awareness, prompt symptom recognition, and healthy habits to reduce long-term risk.
