Bile Acid

Created in the liver, Cancer Center at Illinois researchers are investigating this fluid our bodies create that helps with digestion, made up of acids, proteins, salts, and other products. Historically, bile acid has been associated with cancer development and progression, but recent research has also proposed that it may play a role in the therapeutic treatment of cancer as well. This research has uncovered a number of cancer types (esophageal, gastric, colon, etc.) that have been impacted by bile acid.
