Colorectal cancer is one of the malignant tumours with high morbidity and mortality worldwide, posing a serious threat to human health. In recent years, the incidence of colorectal cancer has been on the rise with changes in lifestyle and dietary habits. Although some progress has been made in treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, however, the early diagnosis, prognosis assessment and personalised treatment of colorectal cancer still face great challenges. Therefore, it is of great academic value and practical significance to deeply explore the influencing factors of colorectal cancer occurrence, development and its prognosis, especially the research on environmental factors and metabolomics.
In this study, investigators collected clinical information, blood, urine and stool for ambient air pollution analysis, blood metabolomics analysis and stool macro-genetic sequencing by including patients from healthy control and colorectal cancer groups, respectively. Environmental factors, metabolomics and intestinal microbiota data were integrated and analysed to screen for indicators that play a key role in colorectal cancer development and construct a colorectal cancer prediction model.
