Hi All,

" These findings suggest that inflammation may have a role in the

development of colon cancer. " ?

It was an 11-year prospective study, but colon cancer requires longer

to develop. Premalignant cancer causes inflammation, which increases

C-reactive protein. " the development " , really, from a company that

wants you to run to them to get the tests?

I noted that they did not say they manage to get the likely in my

mind company-sponsored study published.

Cheers, Al Pater.

There is other evidence to support the theory that inflammation my be

cause of colon cancer. People with ulcerative colitis, a form of

inflammatory bowel disease, have an elevated risk of colon cancer

also.
