OBJECTIVE
High digestible carbohydrate intakes can induce hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia and collectively have been implicated in colorectal tumor development. Our aim was to explore the association between aspects of dietary carbohydrate intake and risk of colorectal adenomas and hyperplastic
There is as yet no specific chromosomal abnormality or gene marker identified for colorectal polyps and cancer. Thus available markers include only phenotypic markers. Tumor markers that have been studied include tetraploidy and increased colonic mucosal proliferation; and these markers have
In the case-control study we compared dietary habits among 108 patients with small (< or = 5 mm, n = 26), medium (5-9 mm, n = 48) or large (> or = 10 mm, n = 34) colorectal polyps with 35 healthy age- and gender-matched controls. A food record by weighing during 5 consecutive days was performed. The
The LewisX (LeX) antigen [characterized by trisaccharide Gal beta 1----4 (Fuc alpha 1----3)N-acetylglucosamine] is an oncodevelopmental antigen in the human colon. Monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs), anti-SSEA-1 and AH8-183, which recognize LeX antigen either on short oligosaccharide side chains or as a
Decreased production of butyric acid by colonic carbohydrate fermentation may predispose to colonic carcinogenesis, with the implicit assumption that the decrease in faecal butyrate found predates the development of the tumour. The influence of the genetic predisposition to colonic tumours and the
Antibodies raised against tumour-associated antigens have been assessed for tumour selectivity using an indirect immunohistochemical peroxidase staining of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue from colon carcinomas, colon polyps and normal mucosa. The following antibodies were used: 1)
This study investigates the differences in usual past diet between 252 subjects with newly diagnosed adenomatous or villous polyps of the colon and rectum and a group of 238 hospital controls. Cases and controls were interviewed in hospital by 3 nutritionists using a dietary history questionnaire
Sialosyl-Tn antigen and its immediate precursor, Tn antigen, are carbohydrate structures associated with the earliest steps of mucin O-linked glycosylation. Both antigens have been shown previously to be highly sensitive and specific markers of colorectal cancer. One hundred and three colorectal
Spontaneously mutated multiple oncogenes and/or tumor suppressor genes in colon epithelial cell and its progeny, may cause proliferation out of control and create benign colon neoplasm (colon polyp). If additional mutations involve genes responsible for cell adhesion and movement, aberrant
Serum levels of tumor markers almost not detectable in precancerous states or early cancer, the behavior of the tumor associated antigen CA 19-9 in colorectal carcinogenesis was analysed. In order to investigate the adenoma-carcinoma sequence, tissue antigenic expression was measured in adenomas,
Lectins from Erythrina cristagalli (EGA) and Erythrina corallodendron (ECorA) are well-known to detect type 2 chain oligosaccharides (Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc). These carbohydrate moieties are the biosynthetic precursors of various ABH and Lewis blood group antigens and are therefore also related to
A technique for lectin-peroxidase histochemistry was adapted for the study of formalin fixed paraffin embedded colonic tissue. Ten lectins with differing carbohydrate binding specificity were tested against 20 normal rectal biopsy specimens and tissue from 19 colonic carcinomata, 19 tubular or
Autoantibodies against cancer-related antigens may be detected in the sera of patients with various types of cancer, although their clinical utility has not yet been established. In this study, we aimed to demonstrate the diagnostic relevance of autoantibody detection against inhibitor of apoptosis
In an endoscopic population screening study for detection of colorectal polyps the diet was registered before ascertaining whether polyps were present. Polyps less than 5 mm in diameter were followed up for 2 years before removal and histologic diagnosis. The relative risk of an increase both in the
Inulin and oligofructose have attracted much attention recently as nonabsorbable carbohydrates with prebiotic properties. When inulin and oligofructose were added to a controlled diet, significant increases were noted in colonic bifidobacterial populations, and it has been proposed that these
