On @NPR @MorningEdition, @DanaFarber’s Dr. Ben Schlechter (@ben_schlechter) underscores the role of healthy eating in colorectal cancer prevention as new research associates ultra-processed foods to higher risk. https://t.co/qtdNG3SVHC CC: @DFarberYoungCRC

A new study found that women who eat a lot of ultra-processed foods were 1.5 times more likely to develop pre-cancerous polyps before the age of 50, compared to those with healthier diets.

Dr. Ann Partridge (@AnnPartridgeMD) and Dr. Kimmie Ng (@KimmieNgMD) shared their expertise in a recent @washingtonpost article exploring the rising rate of #YoungOnsetCancer. The article explores why more young people are being diagnosed with #BreastCancer and #ColorectalCancer,
