Recent reports have suggested that multiple factors such as host genetics, environment and
diet can promote the progression of healthy mucosa towards sporadic colorectal carcinoma …

A role of gut microbiota in colorectal cancer (CRC) growth was first suggested in germ-free
rats almost 50 years ago, and the existence of disease-associated bacteria (termed …

Background A growing body of evidence indicates that the gut microbiome plays a role in
the development of colorectal cancer (CRC). Patients with CRC harbor gut microbiomes that …

Recent studies have shown that individuals with colorectal cancer have an altered gut
microbiome compared to healthy controls. It remains unclear whether these differences are …

There is growing evidence that individuals with colonic adenomas and carcinomas harbor a
distinct microbiota. Alterations to the gut microbiota may allow the outgrowth of bacterial …

Recent studies investigating the human microbiome have identified particular bacterial
species that correlate with the presence of colorectal cancer. To evaluate the role of …

Recent reports have suggested the involvement of gut microbiota in the progression of
colorectal cancer (CRC). We utilized pyrosequencing based analysis of 16S rRNA genes to …

Background Epidemiological studies demonstrate a link between gastrointestinal cancers
and environmental factors such as diet. It has been suggested that environmental cancer …

We tested the hypothesis that an altered community of gut microbes is associated with risk of
colorectal cancer (CRC) in a study of 47 CRC case subjects and 94 control subjects. 16S …

There are vast numbers of bacteria present within the human colon that are essential for the
host's well being in terms of nutrition and mucosal immunity. While certain members of the …
