20 miliardi di euro l’anno: i costi per il cancro in Italia – Prevenzione attiva, la vera arma vincente

Assessing mitochondrial toxicity can contribute to the development of HELIXAFE strategies for cancer Driver Interception and can help increase our understanding of the role of mitochondria in this disease. The changes in the mitochondrial function, or structure, could potentially serve as biomarkers for cancer driver interception of colon cancer, or to monitor the efficacy of preventative strategies. Certain mutations in the mitochondrial DNA have been associated with increased colon cancer risk. Some lifestyle factors, such as diet and physical activity, can impact mitochondrial function. High-fat, low-fiber diets, and sedentary behaviors have been associated with mitochondrial dysfunction, which can contribute to colon cancer development. By understanding the role of these factors , it is possible to develop more effective lifestyle interventions for colon cancer prevention. Assessing mitochondrial toxicity can contribute to the development of preventative strategies.
