Researchers found a connection between liver enzyme levels and the risk of developing colorectal cancer at a young age. A study examined data from 11 thousand adults who had undergone a first screening. These individuals had established care and had results for certain liver enzymes in the years prior.

The study revealed that lower levels of certain enzymes were associated with a higher likelihood of early-onset colorectal cancer.

Further details about the study and its findings are available, including information about the specific enzymes involved and the age range of the participants.
