Fish and meat intake in relation to colorectal adenoma in asymptomatic Korean adults.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Colorectal adenomas are recognized as precursors to colorectal cancer through the adenoma-carcinoma sequence. Identifying modifiable dietary factors that may inhibit cancer progression is critical, but epidemiologic studies in Asian populations are scarce.

Methods
