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.

The future of detection is a simple blood test. Liquid biopsy can pick up tumour signals before symptoms appear — no invasive procedure needed. That's what ColoMARK is working toward. We're not there yet. But this month reminds us why the work matters. #EarlyDetection #LiquidBiopsy #CancerPrevention

Infographic on colorectal cancer prevention and screening. Covers five prevention tips (diet, exercise, avoiding risk factors, knowing family history, and recognising symptoms), a screening timeline starting at age 45, the 90–95% survival rate when caught early, and an introduction to liquid biopsy as a future detection method.

Each SCFA plays a different role: • Acetate helps regulate metabolism and energy balance • Propionate supports glucose and cholesterol metabolism • Butyrate fuels colon cells, strengthens the gut lining, and supports immune balance Small molecules, big impact on gut and metabolic health. #SCFA

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

🧬 New ColoMARK-supported study in Free Radical Biology and Medicine shows that colon cancer tumors accumulate methylglyoxal, a by-product of sugar metabolism, linking tumor metabolism with gut bacteria and blood-based markers. 📄 doi.org/10.1016/j.fr... #ColoMARK #ColorectalCancer #CancerResearch

Screenshot of a peer-reviewed scientific article published in Free Radical Biology and Medicine (Elsevier), titled “Integrative analyses of dicarbonyls and advanced glycation end-products reveal methylglyoxal accumulation in colon cancer,” authored by researchers from the ColoMARK network.
