Colorectal cancer, diet, and poop,
what is the connection?
A person’s gut can impact their chance of developing colorectal cancer. We are evaluating how diet changes the gut in people already at risk for colorectal cancer.
How does this study help fight cancer?
Persephone’s Poop for the Cure® program is evaluating the connection between gut health and cancer, for both prevention and treatment. The AMBROSIA study is an important step forward in understanding how diet impacts the gut patients at risk for colorectal cancer.
What is Poop for the Cure®?
Poop for the Cure is a research program. Our scientists will study stool samples to learn more about the gut. By examining stool samples, we can develop ways to fight cancer better.
