April 22nd was a lot. Pitches, keynotes, a rowing boat, and the whole consortium together. 🧬 DCs pitched their CRC biomarker research, Prof. Paolo Vineis talked evolutionary exposomics, and the evening ended on the water at Canottieri Cerea. 🚣 This is what a research network looks like in person.

Colorectal cancer is the 2nd deadliest cancer globally. But when caught early, survival reaches 90–95%. That gap is where awareness saves lives. 🔵 #ColorectalCancerAwarenessMonth

What happens when researchers combine expertise across disciplines? During a 2-month ColoMARK DN secondment in Graz, Carla Di Battista and Silvia Andaloro worked side by side, exchanging methods to advance biomarker discovery in colorectal cancer. #ColorectalCancer #Biomarkers

How do gut bacteria turn diet into signals for our body? When dietary fiber reaches the colon, beneficial gut microbes ferment it and produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) - mainly acetate, propionate, and butyrate. These small molecules act as messengers between the gut and the rest of the body

Colorectal cancer risk shows consistent population patterns: 🏃 Activity → lower risk 🥦 Fibre → lower risk 🥩 Processed meat → higher risk 🍷 Alcohol → higher risk 🚬 Smoking → higher risk 🔎 Screening → earlier detection Prevention still matters! #ColorectalCancer #Prevention #Screening
