## Abstract Energy balance, or the ability to maintain body weight by balancing energy intake with energy expenditure, appears to be important in the etiology of colon cancer. One possible mechanism whereby energy balance may be associated with colorectal cancer is through its association with insu

## Abstract Cβreactive protein (CRP), a biomarker of inflammation, has been shown to be influenced by genetic variation in the __CRP__ gene. In this study, we test the hypothesis that genetic variation in __CRP__ influences both the risk of developing colon and rectal cancer and survival. Two popul
## Abstract Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP) are part of the TGFβΞ²βsignaling pathway; genetic variation in these genes may be involved in colorectal cancer. In this study, we evaluated the association between genetic variation in __BMP1__ (11 tagSNPs), __BMP2__ (5 tagSNPs), __BMP4__ (3 tagSNPs), _
## Abstract Predictors of colorectal cancer have been extensively studied with some evidence suggesting that risk factors vary by subsite. Using data from 2 prospective cohort studies, we examined established risk factors to determine whether they were differentially associated with colon and recta
