Sex Hormones and Colorectal Cancer: What Have We Learned So Far? - 0 views

  •  
    This article focus' more on the risks of colorectal cancer in men.  It does perform a mini-review on risks for women.  It appears progesterone is important in prevention of colorectal cancer in women.  Post-menopause, women with HRT have a reduced risk. In contrast, men with androgen deprivation therapy, there is an increase risk of colorectal cancer.

    The relationship between ER and PR and colorectal cancer is yet to be determined.  It is not outside the realm of possibility that a standardization of ER/PR in colorectal cancer is unlikely.  Each cancer is unique.  There are probably some generalizations that can be made, but complete generalizations of ER/PR in colorectal cancer in women is unlikely.

  •  
    The women's health initiative dietary modification trial of almost 50,000 women found no association between a low fat diet and a reduction of colorectal cancer.  Translation: a low fat diet does not lower the risk of colorectal cancer.

Reproductive History and risk of colorectal cancer in postmenopausal women - 0 views

  •  
    study finds prolonged exposure to estrogen associated with increased colorectal cancer risk in postmenopausal women. So many unanswered questions. What was the ER status of these patients? What was the weight of these patients? One cannot simply compare estrogen exposure to colorectal cancer risk and say aha! What is the environment of the individual(s)?!

A Case of Colorectal Cancer during Pregnancy: A Brief Review of the Literature - 0 views

  •  
    This case study reveals the complexity of cancer.  HRT and pregnancy have generally been shown to be protective against the incidence of colorectal cancer in women.  Yet, here colorectal cancer was diagnosed in the postpartum period.  Whether the high estrogen and progesterone during pregnancy played a role here is difficult to determine.

  •  
    Fecal calprotectin is found to be a much better screening test for IBD than colorectal cancer.  Though, fecal Calprotectin levels were found to be elevated in colorectal cancer compared to controls, the sensitivity and specificity was low.  In contrast, a fecal Calprotectin > 100 mg/g, in this study, was found to be specific and sensitive for IBD and excluding IBS.

  •  
    People with Streptococcus gallolyticus found to be associated with higher incidence of colon polyps.  This in light of the known association between Steptococcus gallolyticus and colorectal cancer puts a target on Steptococcus gallolyticus in those at risk for colorectal cancer.

    Men with colorectal cancer that engage in "moderate" exercise live longer than those that don't.  Moderate was described as 1 hour of walking 6 days weekly.

Immunohistochemical Expression of Estrogen and Progesterone Receptors in Human Colorect... - 0 views

  •  
    Study finds ER and PR increase along the timeline of tumor initiation.  The authors point to likely association that ER and PR expression is associated with and key to initiating colorectal transformation.  A lot to be determined from this study.  IF this were entirely true, then what to explain the 35% lower colorectal cancer risk in women vs men?  Likely ER and PR pertubance plays a significant role is likely, but the mere expression--yet to be determined.

    Percent survival at 1 year was significantly increased in patients treated with immunotherapy than in those treated with supportive care alone (9/25 vs. 3/25, p < 0.05) in study which suggests that low-dose subcutaneous IL-2 plus melatonin may be effective as a second-line therapy to induce tumor regression and to prolong percent survival at 1 year in metastatic colorectal cancer patients progressing under 5-FU and folates
