Antibiotic use increases the risk of developing colorectal cancer.

INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
3 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that antibiotic use increases the risk of developing colorectal cancer?

Unclear. A 2015 nested case-control study and a 2026 narrative review report an association between frequent antibiotic use and increased colorectal cancer risk, and a 2024 review notes the diet-microbiota-CRC link is a relationship rather than cause-effect. All placed items support the association only in part; none establishes that antibiotic use causes colorectal cancer.
