Scientists Find Clue To Colon Cancer
Scientists at Virginia Tech identify the chemical structure of a bacteria produced compound that may trigger colon cancer. If confirmed, blocking its biosynthesis could help prevent the disease through chemotherapy or diet. Colon cancer affects about 100,000 U.S. diagnoses and 60,000 deaths annually. The suspect chemical, sourced from human feces, is highly unstable and degrades quickly.
