The authors studied 2,950 population-based colon cancer cases in males in Los Angeles County, California, that were diagnosed between 1972 and 1981. To determine if colon cancer risk is reduced by physical activity on the job in males aged 20-64 years, the authors first rated each occupation...
We successfully applied MitoCLue to quantitatively assess the total CL level in healthy and tumor tissues from patients with gastric or colon cancer. The distinct CL levels in gastric and colon cancer suggest that there are cancer-type specific mitochondrial adaptations, reflecting unique bioenergetic d...
Colon — ICD 153 Abstract The ASMR for cancer of the colon in men was 3.0 in 1963 and 4.6 in 1982, while the respective figures for women were 2.8 and 3.4. The time trend for 1963–1982 was in two phases: an increase in mortality over the period 1963–1978 in males and females, an...
Sex exerts a profound impact on cancer incidence, spectrum and outcomes, yet the molecular and genetic bases of such sex differences are ill-defined and presumptively ascribed to X-chromosome genes and sex hormones1. Such sex differences are particularly prominent in colorectal cancer (CRC) in whic...

Colon cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths globally. In the United States, it is the third most common type of cancer in both males and females. The cancer tends to affect the lower parts of the colon and the rectum is also involved. Therefore colon cancer is joi...
There is a strong association between obesity and colorectal cancer (CRC), especially in men, whereas estrogen protects against both the metabolic syndrome and CRC. Colon is the first organ to respond to high-fat diet (HFD), and estrogen receptor beta (E
Colon cancer is considered one of the common, deleterious disease of the gastrointestinal tract associated with high morbidity and mortality. CRC is ranked among the top three carcinomas of the world behind prostate carcinoma and lung carcinoma (Jemal et al., 2010) .In both males and females, ...
Colon cancers have a higher incidence in males, which is in part related to much higher androgen levels in males compared to females. Scientists have now discovered a link between androgens and stem cells that could contribute to colon cancer. Some cance
The larger rates of increase have resulted in higher incidence among Blacks than Whites by the mid-1980s and an increasingly greater excess of this cancer in males. Trends toward earlier diagnosis of invasive colon cancer were found, with increasing rates for localized and regional diseases coupled...
