Invisible invaders: unveiling the carcinogenic threat of microplastics and nanoplastics in colorectal cancer-a systematic review
AI summary Read the abstract
This systematic review examines the potential link between microplastics and nanoplastics and colorectal cancer. The research highlights how these tiny particles may contribute to cancer development through mechanisms like chronic inflammation and cellular damage in the gut. While more studies are needed, the findings raise important questions about the long-term consequences of ingesting plastic particles.
This review highlights the potential carcinogenic risk of MPs/NPs in CRC, deepens understanding of their mechanistic roles in carcinogenesis, and provides insights for the scientific management of MPs/NPs pollution.

This systematic review examines the potential link between microplastics and colorectal cancer. It found that humans ingest over 70,000 microplastic particles annually, and that higher concentrations of micro- and nanoplastics have been observed in colorectal tumor tissues compared to healthy tissue, suggesting a possible connection worth further investigation.

Dietary Micro- and Nanoplastics and Gastrointestinal Carcinogenesis: Mechanistic Insights, Toxicological Evidence, and Critical Knowledge Gaps
AI summary Read the abstract
This review summarizes existing research on tiny plastic particles found in food and human tissue, including colorectal tumors. Lab and animal studies suggest these particles may cause cell damage, inflammation, and gut bacteria changes linked to cancer, but the review notes no proven cause-and-effect link in humans and calls for more research.
Orally Ingested Micro- and Nano-Plastics: A Hidden Driver of Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Colorectal Cancer.
AI summary Read the abstract
This review synthesizes evidence linking ingested micro- and nano-plastics to inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer risk, proposing that microplastics act as a hidden driver of gut inflammation in vulnerable populations. The authors argue that intestinal accumulation of microplastics triggers immune and oxidative stress pathways that contribute to disease progression.
