Scientists identify three new genetic risk factors for colorectal cancer

Researchers have pinpointed three previously unknown genetic variants that increase colorectal cancer risk by analyzing patterns across multiple cancer types. The discovery could improve genetic screening and help doctors identify high-risk patients earlier, potentially reducing treatment costs and improving outcomes for a disease that affects over 1 million people annually worldwide.
