READ MORE: Doctor shares reality ofDoctors are being urged to look out for iron deficiency as an early warning sign of colon cancer in young people.
Iron deficiency can cause anemia, which is a condition where the body lacks enough healthy blood cells to circulate oxygen. All told, researchers from Germany's Institute of Nutritional Science said: 'Ideal iron intake must therefore be carefully balanced between iron deficiency and iron excess, since both can have potentially crucial clinical consequences with regard to cancer development.'
Increased attention on the disease has lead to more research, like the new study, which was presented by Rutgers doctors at American College of Gastroenterology 2024 Annual Scientific Meeting. Dr David Johnson, the chief of gastroenterology at Eastern Virginia School of Medicine who was not involved in the research, told Medscape that many young patients get diagnosed when their disease has already taken over the body.
Researchers suggest that tumor cells may use iron as fuel to grow and spread - taking blood from healthy tissues. It can also built up in the liver and become toxic. Researchers suggest that when your body doesn't have enough iron, it can't produce white blood cells, which are the front line defense of the immune system.
