متن کاملSerum insulin levels and the prevalence of adenomatous and hyperplastic polyps in the proximal colon.
BACKGROUND & AIMS Obesity and diabetes mellitus are associated with an increased incidence of proximal colon cancer. Colonic adenoma that has been reported to be associated with elevated serum insulin levels and subsets of hyperplastic polyps might serve as a precursor of colon cancer. In this study, we sought to determine segment-specific associations between serum insulin levels and the preva...
