Why are more young people getting bowel cancer?
Trevor Graham, director studying historic tumour archives and the microbiome, and Ben Spencer, science editor who unpacks research and stats. They explore rising bowel cancer in under-50s. They discuss possible causes like lifestyle shifts, the microbiome and a toxin-producing E. coli, early-life factors shaping gut bacteria, and using century-old tissue archives to trace changing risks.
