Mesalamine linked to cancer protection for high risk inflammatory bowel disease patients
Researchers found that mesalamine use among patients with inflammatory bowel disease was associated with a decrease in incidence of colorectal cancer when comparing cases and controls. view more (2007-10-15)
High intake of dietary fiber not associated with reduced risk of colorectal cancer
In an analysis combining data from 13 studies, high intake of dietary fiber was not associated with reduced risk of colorectal cancer. view more (2005-12-14)
SURGERY FOR COLORECTAL CANCER IN ELDERLY PATIENTS
Colorectal cancer is the most common malignant disease in elderly people, with over 70% of cases occurring in those aged 65 years or older. Doctors often have to decide whether surgery will be worthwhile in terms of the patient's life expectancy and the quality of life they can expect after surgery. In fact, fewer elderly patients undergo surgery... view more... (2000-09-14)
Diets high in choline may increase risk for colorectal polyps
Contrary to expectations, diets high in the nutrient choline were associated with an increased risk of some colorectal polyps, which can-but do not always-lead to colorectal cancer. view more (2007-08-08)
A gene for metastasis
Colorectal cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers in the Western world. The tumor starts off as a polyp but then turns into an invasive and violent cancer, which often spreads to the liver. view more (2007-08-28)
CT colonography versus colonoscopy for colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in most developed countries. view more (2005-10-11)
Study identifies a common genetic risk factor for colorectal and prostate cancer
A study led by researchers at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California (USC) has found that one of seven genetic risk factors previously identified as increasing the probability of developing prostate cancer also increases the probability of developing colorectal cancer. view more (2007-07-09)
Screening for colorectal cancer detects unrecognized disease
Screening for colorectal cancer detects four out of ten cancers and should be carefully designed to be more effective, according to a study published today on bmj.com. view more (2008-11-21)
Smoking can double risk of colorectal polyps
Smokers have a two-fold increased risk of developing colorectal polyps, the suspected underlying cause of most colorectal cancers (CRC), according to a study published in Gastroenterology, the official journal of the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) Institute. view more (2008-02-04)
Surgical Removal of Small Colon Polyps is Costly and Unnecessary
Polypectomy (the surgical removal of polyps by colonoscopy) of small polyps found during CT colonography is costly and unnecessary according to a study performed at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health in Madison, WI.

AGA supports new guidelines favoring tests that prevent colorectal cancer
New consensus colorectal cancer guidelines released today state for the first time that the primary goal of colorectal cancer screening is cancer prevention. Previous guidelines have given equal weight to tests for detecting cancer and preventing cancer. By removing polyps from the large bowel, colonoscopy is the only screening test that also... view more... (2008-03-06)
A novel marker of colorectal carcinoma
The colorectal cancer is thought to be resulted from a combination of environmental factors, diet, lifestyle, chronic inflammation and accumulation of specific genetic alterations. view more (2009-05-22)
Hormone therapy associated with reduced colorectal cancer risk
The combination of estrogen plus progestin, which women stopped taking in droves following the news that it may increase their risk of breast cancer, may decrease their risk of colorectal cancer, according to a report published in the January issue of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention, a journal of the American Association for Cancer... view more...

The fight against colorectal cancer
In 2007, colorectal cancer will kill approximately 8700 Canadians. To draw attention to this situation, Dr. Alan Barkun, Director of the gastroenterology department at the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) and Dr. Ken Flegel, service chief in internal medicine, have coauthored an editorial that will appear in the September 11, 2007 issue of... view more...

New study shows women more vulnerable to risk of colorectal cancer from tobacco
A new study of gender and risk factors for colorectal cancer reveals that while both tobacco and alcohol increase risk for colorectal cancer, women who smoke are at higher risk. view more (2005-10-31)
Risk of colorectal cancer extremely low 5 years after a normal colonoscopy screening
A study appearing in the Sept. 18 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine shows that among individuals with no colorectal neoplasia (abnormal growths) on initial screening colonoscopy, the five-year risk of colorectal cancer is extremely low. view more (2008-09-23)
Change in gene may be underlying molecular defect in some colorectal cancers, study suggests
Inactivation of a DNA repair gene may be an early step in the development of sporadic colorectal tumors, and detection of the molecular basis for this inactivation may ultimately be useful in risk assessment for colorectal cancer. view more (2005-09-21)
MIT researchers see alternative to common colorectal cancer drug
A compound that accumulates in cells more readily than a commonly used colorectal cancer drug may be just as useful in treating colorectal tumors, but with fewer side effects, MIT researchers have found. view more (2008-06-18)
Colon cancer screenings may not pay off and could pose harm to some
Even though current guidelines advocate colorectal cancer screenings for those with severe illnesses, they may bring little benefit and may actually pose harm, according to a recent study by Yale School of Medicine researchers published in the Archives of Internal Medicine. view more (2007-12-19)
Patient knowledge of health information influences cancer treatment
A new analysis finds that when colorectal cancer patients seek out health information from the internet and news media, they are more likely to be aware of and receive the latest treatments for their disease. view more (2009-02-23)
