Physical activity and risks of proximal and distal colon cancers: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND Although there is convincing epidemiological evidence that physical activity is associated with a reduced risk of colon cancer, it is unclear whether physical activity is differentially associated with the risks of proximal colon and distal colon cancers. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate this issue. METHODS MEDLINE and EMBASE were searched for Engli...

Since genetic and environmental factors lead to differences in colorectal cancer occurrence in different geographic regions and races, we ...
متن کاملRe: Physical activity and risks of proximal and distal colon cancers: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
We read with great interest the systematic review and meta-analysis by Boyle et al. (1) on physical activity and risks of proximal colon cancers (PCCs) and distal colon cancers (DCCs), under the hypothesis that PCCs and DCCs may be two distinct cancer types with different genetic and environmental risk factors. The results suggested that physical activity is associated with a reduced risk of bo...

Background and Aim: Cancer is the second leading cause of death after heart disease in the United States. Colorectal cancer is the 4th most common cancer in the world. Nearly one million new cases per year of this disease occur worldwide. High levels of physical activity are associated with reduced risk of some cancers such as colon and breast cancers. The aim of this study was to determine the...
