The influence of periodontal disease and periodontal treatment on colorectal cancer

Periodontal pathogenic bacteria Fusobacterium nucleatum (FN) and Porphyromonas gingivalis (PG), are most linked to colorectal cancer (CRC), from the mucosa of the cancer-affected intestine.

Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) face an elevated risk of postpartum depression, with studies showing a roughly 45% to 50% higher likelihood compared to women without PCOS.

Another cruel feedback loop:

Marfan syndrome is a genetic condition that damages the body's connective tissue, which supports bones, muscles, organs, and blood vessels.  It is caused by a mutation in the FBN1 gene that disrupts the production of a protein called fibrillin-1. Human fibrillin-1 is a critical molecule that forms microfibrils, providing structural scaffolding for elastic fibers throughout connective tissues all over the body.  This results in skeletal and cardiovascular changes, including long limbs, chest wall deformities and weak aortic walls.  It also degrades the gingival tissues and periodontal ligaments.   Marfan patients have an increased incidence of periodontal disease than contol subjects.

Porphyromonas gingivalis produces Gingipains, molecules which degrade host connective tissue proteins. While their primary targets are fibronectin and collagens, they also target the surrounding microfibrillar network including fibrillin structures, leading directly to tissue destruction, impaired wound healing, and bone loss.  P. gingivalis travels all over the body and is a documented trigger of atherosclerosis.

“But remember, I’m the only one who took the test. You know, the aptitude test or whatever the hell they call it. I took it— when I did— every time I do a physical— I take a mental test. And I’ve aced it. WHERE’S MY DOCTOR? Is he around, I travel with more doctors than any human. If people get sick in the audience, they don’t— do— they leave him alone. You know what they call him? Collateral damage.”
