                    [Summary] => Doctors and patients have often noticed that diarrhea is a very common side effect of chemotherapy for colorectal cancer. A new study by doctors and colleagues from Finland, explores a possible explanation for this trend: colorectal cancer chemotherapy may cause temporary lactose intolerance, resulting in symptoms like diarrhea and flatulence. This finding is significant because it will lead to greater understanding of the effects of the gastroenterological mucosal injury associated with chemotherapy and radiation.
