Epigenetic Modulation, Intra-tumoral Microbiome and Immunity in Early Onset Colorectal Cancer

Ning Yi Jin, Rebecca Hoyd, Ayse S. Yilmaz…·Daniel J. Spakowicz

This study examines epigenetic, microbiome, and immune differences in early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC) compared to average-onset CRC, finding accelerated epigenetic aging and stronger immune-microbe correlations in EOCRC.
