"It has been a paradox that we repeatedly find the same bacterium in connection with colorectal cancer, while at the same time it is a completely normal part of the gut in healthy people," says ...

Scientists engineer bacteria to destroy cancer tumors from oxygen-starved cores where chemotherapy fails, using smart genetic controls for safety.

"So, we are now colonizing that central space, and the bacterium is essentially ridding the body of the tumor." The post ...

California researchers have identified a possible link between toxin in the gut and increase in cancer cases in people under ...

Baylor University researchers have published a novel approach to fight colorectal cancer, using modified bacteria as a courier to deliver potent cancer-killing proteins into tumor cells. Michael S.

Scientists are developing cancer-eating bacteria designed to grow inside oxygen-free tumors and attack cancer from within.

The gut bacterium Bacteroides fragilis has long presented researchers with a paradox. It has been associated with colorectal cancer, yet it also lives quite happily in most healthy people. A study by ...

The core of a solid, cancerous tumor is comprised of dead cells and is oxygen-free, making it an ideal breeding ground for ...

A previously unknown virus may be the key to assessing the risk of colorectal cancer and improving diagnosis.

This is surprising because the brain is thought to be a sterile, germ-free environment Brain cancer bacteria overlaps with bacteria from the mouth and gut TUESDAY, Nov. 18, 2025 (HealthDay News) — The ...

An oncologist explains the findings.

HomeServe USA reports chemotherapy can harm septic systems by affecting beneficial bacteria, leading to clogs and backups. Regular tank pumping and bacterial additives can help mitigate risks.
