People seem to see the same mutational pattern in head+neck cancers, oral squamous cell carcinomas & urinary tract cancers, but not nearly to the same extent
Fantastic writeup, thanks for putting this together!
And now I'm going to do that annoying thing and ask... what do you think is the primary driver or increased levels of colibactin in the gut? Seems pretty clearly environmental, so what might young people be consuming that's skewing their gut bacteria in a harmful manner?
Awesome overview! Super interesting stuff. Could colibactin exposure increase the risk of any other cancers, or is it just linked to colorectal?
Thank you!

Are rates higher or lower per capita in parts of the world known to overprescribe antibiotics?

I was wondering the same thing.
Great summary of some cool research, Alan! I wonder if fiber or prebiotics might help...
