Ignore Gut Symptoms, Risk Late Cancer: Surgeon Warns

• Ignoring early gut symptoms leads to late cancer detection, reducing treatment options and survival outcomes, warns Dr. Arpit Bansal.
• Chronic inflammation from prolonged gut stress increases genetic mutations, a key driver of gastrointestinal cancers.
• Commonly dismissed symptoms like bloating, acidity, and irregular bowel habits are early biological warning signs.
• Nutrition is personal; 'healthy' foods like avocado can cause inflammation if the gut microbiome is imbalanced.
• Unhealthy microbiome (dysbiosis) leads to 'leaky gut,' systemic inflammation, and higher risk of various cancers.

Why It Matters: Early gut symptoms and personalized nutrition are crucial for cancer prevention and timely detection.
