Could the cause of colon cancer in the young be due to colibactin toxin? It was discovered in 2006 and is suspected as the culprit, as colibactin-linked mutations in A/T-rich motifs are characteristic. Toxin exposure may have taken place in the young. The bacteria is produced by E coli,

need to start testing stool for colibactin presence and take appropriate
preventive and surveillance measures. 10% of new cases of colon cancer and 20% of rectal cancers are now occurring in people younger than 50 years now.
