Scientists just discovered how Colon Cancer actually spreads (And it’s not what you think)
Colon cancer spreads when cells lose GATA6 and revert to an early state. This change allows them to travel and form new tumors in distant organs. Scientists discovered this process is due to gene expression changes, not genetic mutations. They believe this discovery may lead to future treatments that stop cancer metastasis. Early detection remains crucial for managing colon cancer risks effectively.
