Abstract
Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) prognosis is determined by the disease stage with low survival rates for advanced stages. Current CRC screening programs are mainly using colonoscopy, limited by its invasiveness and high cost. Therefore, non-invasive, cost-effective, and accurate alternatives are urgently needed. Objective and design This retrospective multi-center plasma proteomics study was performed to identify potential blood-based biomarkers in 36 CRC patients and 26 healthy volunteers by high-resolution mass spectrometry proteomics followed by the validation in an independent CRC cohort (60 CRC patients and 44 healthy subjects) of identified selected biomarkers. Results Among the 322 identified plasma proteins, 37 were changed between CRC patients and healthy volunteers and were associated with the complement cascade, cholesterol metabolism, and SERPIN family members. Increased levels in CRC patients of the complement proteins C1QB, C4B, and C5 as well as pro-inflammatory proteins, lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) and serum amyloid A4, constitutive (SAA4) were revealed for first time. Importantly, increased level of C5 was verified in an independent validation CRC cohort. Increased C4B and C8A levels were correlated with cancer-associated inflammation and CRC progression, while cancer-associated inflammation was linked to the acute-phase reactant leucine-rich alpha-2-glycoprotein 1 (LRG1) and ceruloplasmin. Moreover, a 4-protein signature including C4B, C8A, apolipoprotein C2 (APO) C2, and immunoglobulin heavy constant gamma 2 was changed between early and late CRC stages. Conclusion Our results suggest that C5 could be a potential biomarker for CRC diagnosis. Further validation studies will aid the application of these new potential biomarkers to improve CRC diagnosis and patient care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite a growing body of observational studies indicating a potential link between metabolic syndrome and colorectal cancer, a definitive causal relationship has yet to be established. This study aimed to elucidate the causal relationship between metabolic syndrome and colorectal cancer through Mendelian randomization. METHODS We screened for instrumental variables associated with metabolic syndrome and its diagnostic components and with colorectal cancer through the use of a genome-wide association study database, and conducted a preliminary Mendelian randomization analysis. To corroborate the dependability of our conclusions, an additional dataset was used for replication analysis in a Mendelian randomization method, which was further integrated with a meta-analysis. RESULTS Preliminary analysis using the inverse variance weighted method revealed positive correlations between metabolic syndrome (OR [95% CI] = 1.37[1.15-1.63], P = 5.02 × 10-4) and waist circumference (OR [95% CI] = 1.39[1.21-1.61], P = 7.38 × 10-6) and the risk of colorectal cancer. Replication analysis also revealed the same results: metabolic syndrome (OR [95% CI] = 1.24[1.02-1.51], P = 0.030) and waist circumference (OR [95% CI] = 1.23[1.05-1.45], P = 0.013). The meta-analysis results further confirmed the associations between metabolic syndrome (OR [95% CI] = 1.31[1.15-1.49], P < 0.001) and waist circumference (OR [95% CI] = 1.32[1.18-1.47], P < 0.001) and colorectal cancer. CONCLUSION Our study indicated that metabolic syndrome increases the risk of CRC, particularly in patients with abdominal obesity.

Abstract
PURPOSE The relationship between engaging in two domains of cancer-preventive behaviors, lifestyle behaviors and colonoscopy screening, is unknown in Hispanic adults. Accordingly, the study examined the association between lifestyle and colonoscopy screening in Hispanic adults along the Texas-Mexico border, where there is suboptimal colorectal cancer prevention. METHODS Lifestyle behavior adherence and compliance with colonoscopy screening schedules were assessed using 2013-2023 data from the Cameron County Hispanic Cohorta population-based sample of Hispanic adults living along the Texas-Mexico border. The 2018 World Cancer Research Fund scoring system characterized healthy lifestyle engagement. Multivariable logistic regression quantified the association between lifestyle behaviors and colonoscopy screening. RESULTS Among 914 Hispanic adults, there was a mean adherence score of 2.5 out of 7 for recommended behaviors. Only 33.0% (95% CI 25.64-41.39%) were up-to-date with colonoscopy. Complete adherence to fruit and vegetable (AOR [adjusted odds ratio] 5.2, 95% CI 1.68-16.30; p = 0.004), fiber (AOR 2.2, 95% CI 1.06-4.37; p = 0.04), and ultra-processed foods (AOR 2.8, 95% CI 1.30-6.21; p = 0.01) consumption recommendations were associated with up-to-date colonoscopy screening. Having insurance versus being uninsured (AOR 10.8, 95% CI 3.83-30.62; p < 0.001) and having local medical care versus in Mexico (AOR 7.0, 95% CI 2.26-21.43; p < 0.001) were associated with up-to-date colonoscopy. CONCLUSIONS Adherence to dietary lifestyle recommendations was associated with being up-to-date with colonoscopy screenings. Those with poor dietary behavior are at risk for low-colonoscopy use. Improving lifestyle behaviors may complement colonoscopy promotion interventions. Healthcare accessibility influences up-to-date colonoscopy prevalence. Our findings can inform cancer prevention strategies for the Hispanic population.

Abstract
How tumors arise or the cause of precancerous lesions is a fundamental question in cancer biology. It is generally accepted that tumors originate from normal cells that undergo uncontrolled proliferation owing to genetic alterations. At the onset of adenoma formation, cancer driver mutations confer clonal growth advantage, enabling mutant cells to outcompete and eliminate the surrounding healthy cells. Hence, the development of precancerous lesions is not only attributed to the expansion of pre-malignant clones, but also relies on the relative fitness of mutated cells compared to the neighboring cells. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is an excellent model to investigate cancer origin as it follows a stereotypical process from mutant cell hyperplasia to adenoma formation and progression. Here, we review the evolving understanding of colonic tumor development, focusing on how cell intrinsic and extrinsic factors impact cell competition and the "clone war" between cancer-initiating cells and normal stem cells. We also discuss the promises and limitations of targeting cell competitiveness in cancer prevention and early intervention. The field of tumor initiation is currently in its infancy, elucidating the adenoma origin is crucial for designing effective prevention strategies and early treatments before cancer becomes incurable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes has been associated with colorectal cancer. We evaluated whether adherence to a diabetes risk reduction diet (DRRD) can favorably influence the risk of colorectal cancer. METHODS Data came from a multicentric Italian case-control study including 1,953 histologically confirmed colorectal cancer cases and 4,154 hospital controls admitted for acute nonneoplastic diseases. Diet was assessed through a validated and reproducible food frequency questionnaire. The DRRD score was computed assigning higher values for higher consumption of cereal fiber, fruit, coffee, nuts and a higher polyunsaturated/saturated fats ratio and for lower glycemic index and lower consumption of red/processed meat and sweetened beverages and fruit juices. The ORs and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) of colorectal cancer according to the DRRD score were obtained using logistic regression models adjusting for total energy intake and other major confounders. RESULTS The DRRD was inversely related to colorectal cancer risk. The ORs of colorectal cancer were 0.77 (95% CI, 0.67-0.89) for the third versus first score tertile (Ptrend < 0.001) and 0.92 (95% CI, 0.87-0.96) for a 3-point increment in the score. Inverse associations were observed for colon and rectal cancers and were consistent in strata of sex, age, and other major covariates. CONCLUSIONS A higher adherence to a DRRD was inversely associated with colorectal cancer risk. IMPACT Given the high incidence and mortality rates of colorectal cancer, adherence to a DRRD can have relevant prevention and public health implications.

Abstract
Background Several previous studies found a positive relationship between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and thyroid cancer (TC) risk. However, there is no research that has studied the relationship between the metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR), a novel surrogate marker for IR, and TC incidence. Thus, we designed this retrospective cohort study to evaluate the relationship between the incidence of TC and METS-IR. Method We analyzed a cohort of 314,321 Korean adults aged over 40 years who participated in the National Health Screening Program from 2009 to 2010. The individuals were divided into four groups based on METS-IR quartiles. Follow-up was until the diagnosis of TC or death, or until December 31, 2019, if neither. The relationship between METS-IR and TC incidence was analyzed using the Cox proportional-hazards model with multi-variable adjustments. Results A total of 4,137 participants (1.3%) were diagnosed with TC during a mean follow-up of 9.5 ± 1.5 years. The population with Q1 METS-IR scores showed higher disease-free probabilities than those with Q4 METS-IR scores (p <0.001). The hazard ratio (95% confidential interval) for TC incidence in Q2, Q3, and Q4 METS-IR value were 1.14 (1.05 to 1.25), 1.21 (1.11 to 1.33), and 1.30 (1.18 to 1.42) compared with Q1 of METS-IR, respectively. The incidence of TC tended to increase with increasing METS-IR values in the total population, especially the male population in the restricted cubic spline. In subgroup analysis, the TC risk was more pronounced in the subgroups under 65 and with a BMI < 25 kg/m2. Conclusion METS-IR was positively correlated with TC incidence in Korea.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Obesity, metabolic syndrome, and hyperlipidemia are known as risk factors for colorectal tumors. Colorectal polyps are accepted as potential precursors of colorectal cancer (CRC). This study was designed to clarify the association between the levels of serum lipids and the presence of colorectal polyps. METHODS This study was conducted at Basaksehir Cam and Sakura City Hospital, Gastroenterological Surgery Clinic, Istanbul, Turkey. We retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent colonoscopy with serum lipid profile within one month for a one-year period. Groups were analyzed in terms of the correlation between hyperlipidemia and the formation of polyps. The study group was also evaluated in terms of the polyp type, localization, and number. RESULTS Among 453 patients, females were 248 and males were 211, with a mean age of 56.7. The study and control groups involved 259 and 194 patients, respectively. The age and serum levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), total cholesterol (TC), and triglyceride (TG) were found to be statistically significant in terms of polyp presence and number (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Colorectal polyps are well-known precursors of CRC. We found that the combination of elevated serum levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol, and triglycerides may be a risk predictor for the presence of colorectal polyps, which can be advantageous in cancer screening.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A growing body of evidence points to the association between insulin resistance (IR), metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components and lung cancer incidence, but remains controversial and unknown. METHODS A systematic search was conducted through PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Wanfang databases for the corresponding studies. Each study reported the risk estimate and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for lung cancer, and a fixed effects model or random effects model was used for outcome. RESULTS We included 31 publications involving 6,589,383 people with 62,246 cases of lung cancer. Diabetes mellitus (DM) (RR = 1.11, 95% CI 1.06-1.16, P = 0.000) and IR (RR = 2.35, 95% CI 1.55-3.58, P = 0.000) showed a positive association with lung cancer risk. BMI (RR = 0.66, 95% CI 0.54-0.81, P = 0.000) and HDL-C (RR = 0.88, 95% CI 0.79-0.97, P = 0.010) were negatively correlated with lung cancer. MetS(RR = 0.99, 95% CI 0.90-1.09, P = 0.801), TC (RR = 0.93, 95% CI 0.81-1.06, P = 0.274), TG (RR = 0.99, 95% CI 0.88-1.12,P = 0.884), LDL-C (RR = 1.01, 95% CI 0.87-1.16, P = 0.928), hypertension (RR = 1.01, 95% CI 0.88-1.15, P = 0.928), FBG (RR = 1.02, 95% CI 0.92-1.13, P = 0.677) and obesity (RR = 1.11, 95% CI 0.92-1.35, P = 0.280) were not associated with lung cancer. CONCLUSION Our study showed that the risk of lung cancer is correlated with DM, IR, BMI, and HDL-C. Timely control of these metabolic disorders may have a positive effect on preventing lung cancer. Trial registration Our study has been registered in the Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO), ID: CRD42023390710.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome comprises a set of risk factors that include abdominal obesity, impaired glucose tolerance, hypertriglyceridemia, low high-density lipoprotein levels, and high blood pressure, at least three of which must be fulfilled for diagnosis. Metabolic syndrome has been linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Multimodality imaging plays an important role in metabolic syndrome, including diagnosis, risk stratification, and assessment of complications. CT and MRI are the primary tools for quantification of excess fat, including subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue, as well as fat around organs, which are associated with increased cardiovascular risk. PET has been shown to detect signs of insulin resistance and may detect ectopic sites of brown fat. Cardiovascular disease is an important complication of metabolic syndrome, resulting in subclinical or symptomatic coronary artery disease, alterations in cardiac structure and function with potential progression to heart failure, and systemic vascular disease. CT angiography provides comprehensive evaluation of the coronary and systemic arteries, while cardiac MRI assesses cardiac structure, function, myocardial ischemia, and infarction. Liver damage results from a spectrum of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease ranging from steatosis to fibrosis and possible cirrhosis. US, CT, and MRI are useful in assessing steatosis and can be performed to detect and grade hepatic fibrosis, particularly using elastography techniques. Metabolic syndrome also has deleterious effects on the pancreas, kidney, gastrointestinal tract, and ovaries, including increased risk for several malignancies. Metabolic syndrome is associated with cerebral infarcts, best evaluated with MRI, and has been linked with cognitive decline. ©RSNA, 2024 Test Your Knowledge questions for this article are available in the supplemental material.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess whether androgens play a role in explaining the sex related differences in the incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC). METHODS A nationwide matched cohort study was conducted employing the Prostate Cancer data Base Sweden (PCBaSe) 4.0 during the study period 2006-2016. Prostate cancer (PC) patients receiving androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) were treated as exposed. Prostate cancer-free men from the general population were randomly selected and matched to the index case by birth year and county of residence, forming the unexposed group. All were followed until a diagnosis of CRC, death, emigration, or end of the study period. The risk of CRC among ADT exposed PC patients compared to unexposed cancer-free men was calculated using a flexible parametric survival model and expressed as hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS There was an increased risk of CRC among ADT exposed PC patients compared to unexposed cancer-free men (HR 1.27 [95% CI 1.15-1.41]), in particular an increased risk of adenocarcinoma of the colon (HR 1.33 [95% CI 1.17-1.51]) and more specifically an increased risk of adenocarcinoma of the distal colon (HR 1.53 [95% CI 1.26-1.85]). Examination of latency effects yielded significantly decreased HRs over time for CRC (p = 0.049 for trend). CONCLUSIONS This population-based study found an increased risk of CRC among PC patients exposed to ADT, specifically adenocarcinoma of the distal colon, which indicates an increased association between ADT (PC + ADT) and CRC but not a positive dose-response trend questioning a true causal effect.

Abstract
Cancer has become a leading cause of death among patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS). The more components of MetS a patient has, the higher his cancer risk is. MetS is causally associated with colorectal, pancreatic, gallbladder, biliary, hepatocellular, gastric and esophageal adenocarcinomas. MetS increases cancer mortality up to 2.4-fold. Intentional long-term weight loss reduces the excess cancer risk of obese MetS-patients. Preventing and treating the MetS together with GI cancer screening is effective and decreases the burden of GI cancer mortality significantly.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Worldwide, colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer and ranks second among the leading causes of cancer death. This study aims to devise and validate a scoring system based on metabolic parameters to predict the risk of advanced colorectal neoplasia (ACN) in a large Chinese population. METHODS This was a cohort study of 495 584 symptomatic subjects aged 40 years or older who have received colonoscopy in Hong Kong from 1997 to 2017. The algorithm's discriminatory ability was evaluated as the area under the curve (AUC) of the mathematically constructed receiver operating characteristic curve. RESULTS Age, male gender, inpatient setting, abnormal aspartate transaminase/alanine transaminase, white blood cell, plasma gamma-glutamyl transferase, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, and hemoglobin A1c were significantly associated with ACN. A scoring of < 2.65 was designated as "low risk (LR)." Scores at 2.65 or above had prevalence higher than the overall prevalence and hence were assigned as "high risk (HR)." The prevalence of ACN was 32% and 11%, respectively, for HR and LR groups. The AUC for the risk score in the derivation and validation cohort was 70.12%. CONCLUSIONS This study has validated a simple, accurate, and easy-to-use scoring algorithm, which has a high discriminatory capability to predict ACN in symptomatic patients. Future studies should examine its predictive performance in other population groups.

Abstract
Background Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with poor prognosis in many cancers. However, the relationship between metabolic syndrome and overall survival (OS) in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) remains unclear. We aimed to comprehensively analyze whether MetS could affect postoperative complications and long-term survival in patients with CRC. Methods We included patients who underwent CRC resection at our center between January 2016 and December 2018. Bias was reduced through propensity score matching analysis. Patients with CRC were divided into the MetS and non-MetS groups based on whether they had MetS. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to identify risk factors affecting OS. Results We included 268 patients; among them, 120 were included for further analysis after propensity score matching. There were no significant between-group differences in the clinicopathological features after matching. Compared with the non-MetS group, the MetS group had a shorter OS (P = 0.027); however, there was no significant between-group difference in postoperative complications. Multivariate analysis revealed that MetS (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.997, P = 0.042), tumor-node-metastasis stage (HR = 2.422, P = 0.003), and intestinal obstruction (HR = 2.761, P = 0.010) were independent risk factors for OS. Conclusions MetS affects the long-term survival of patients with CRC without affecting postoperative complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Metabolic syndrome (MetS) increases the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), and the impact of MetS on CRC prognosis remains controversial after the diagnosis of CRC has been established. This study aimed to explore the impact of the individual components and synergies of MetS on the prognosis of patients with CRC. METHODS We searched articles published before August 3, 2022, in four databases, including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and ScienceDirect. The random-effects model inverse variance method was used to estimate the summarized effect size. RESULTS Patients with CRC with MetS were 1.342 times more likely to experience all-cause mortality than those without MetS, and the 95% confidence interval (CI) of hazard ratio (HR) was 1.107-1.627 (P = 0.003). CRC-specific mortality in patients with CRC with MetS was 2.122 times higher than in those without MetS, and the 95% CI of HR was 1.080-4.173 (P = 0.029). CRC-specific mortality exhibited an increasing trend of risk with increased metabolic risk factors. The HR of CRC-specific mortality for one, two, and three metabolic risk factors was 1.206 (95% CI, 1.034-1.407; P = 0.017), 1.881 (95% CI, 1.253-2.824; P = 0.002), and 2.327 (95% CI, 1.262-4.291; P = 0.007), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Metabolic syndrome increased all-cause and CRC-specific mortality in patients with CRC. As a single component of MetS, diabetes mellitus increased overall mortality in patients with CRC, while obesity increased CRC-specific mortality in patients with CRC, with a significant difference from non-MetS. Moreover, the risk of CRC-specific mortality increased with increasing number of metabolic risk factors.

Abstract
Although high body-mass index (BMI) is associated with increased risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC), many CRC patients lose weight before diagnosis. BMI is often reported close to diagnosis, which may have led to underestimation or even reversal of direction of the BMI-CRC association. We aimed to assess if and to what extent potential bias from prediagnostic weight loss has been considered in available epidemiological evidence. We searched PubMed and Web of Science until May 2022 for systematic reviews and meta-analyses investigating the BMI-CRC association. Information on design aspects and results was extracted, including if and how the reviews handled prediagnostic weight loss as a potential source of bias. Additionally, we analyzed how individual cohort studies included in the latest systematic review handled the issue. Overall, 18 reviews were identified. None of them thoroughly considered or discussed prediagnostic weight loss as a potential source of bias. The majority (15/21) of cohorts included in the latest review did not exclude any initial years of follow-up from their main analysis. Although the majority of studies reported having conducted sensitivity analyses in which initial years of follow-up were excluded, results were reported very heterogeneously and mostly for additional exclusions of 1-2 years only. Where explicitly reported, effect estimates mostly increased with increasing length of exclusion. The impact of overweight and obesity on CRC risk may be larger than suggested by the existing epidemiological evidence.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to assess established risk factors for colorectal cancer (CRC) separately for right colon, left colon and rectal cancer in men and women. METHOD This was a prospective cohort study comparing incidental CRC cases and the general population participating in a longitudinal health study in Norway (the HUNT study). RESULTS Among 78 580 participants (36 825 men and 41 754 women), 1827 incidental CRCs were registered (931 men and 896 women). Among men, the risk of cancer at all locations increased with age [HR 1.46 (1.40-1.51), HR 1.32 (1.27-1.36), HR 1.30 (1.25-1.34) per 5 years for right colon, left colon and rectal cancer, respectively] and the risk of left colon cancer increased with higher body mass index [HR 1.28 (1.12-1.46) per 5 kg/m2 ]. The risk of right colon cancer (RCC) increased with smoking [HR 1.07 (1.04-1.10) per 5 pack years]. Among women, the risk of cancer at all locations increased with age [HR 1.38 (1.34-1.43), HR 1.23 (1.19-1.27), HR 1.20 (1.16-1.24) per 5 years] and smoking [HR 1.07 (1.02-1.12), HR 1.07 (1.02-1.12), HR 1.10 (1.05-1.17) per 5 pack years] for right colon, left colon and rectal cancer, respectively. The risk of RCC increased with night shift work [HR 1.93 (1.22-3.05)]. CONCLUSION The risk factors for developing CRC differ by anatomical location and sex. The relationship between risk factors and CRC may be more nuanced than previously known.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome (MetS), a group of risk factors that define metabolic dysfunction in adults, is strongly associated with obesity and is an emerging risk factor for cancer. However, the association of MetS and degree of metabolic dysfunction with obesity-related cancer is unknown. METHODS Using National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data from 1999 to 2018, we identified 528 obesity-related cancer cases and 18,972 cancer-free participants. MetS was defined as the presence of or treatment for ≥3 of hyperglycemia, hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia, low HDL-cholesterol, and abdominal obesity. A metabolic syndrome score (MSS) was computed as the total number of abnormal MetS parameters to determine the severity of metabolic dysfunction. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using multivariable logistic regression models, adjusting for sociodemographic and lifestyle factors. RESULTS About 45.7% of obesity-related cancer cases were classified as having MetS compared with only 33.0% of cancer-free participants. Overall, MetS and MSS were not associated with obesity-related cancer. However, MSS was associated with higher obesity-related cancer risk among participants under 50 years of age (OR [95% CI] = 1.28 [1.08-1.52]). When evaluating MSS categorically, compared with healthy participants with no abnormal MetS parameters (MSS = 0), participants with one or two abnormal parameters had a statistically significant higher risk of obesity-related cancer (OR [95% CI] = 1.73 [1.06-2.83]). CONCLUSIONS Metabolic dysfunction is associated with a higher risk of obesity-related cancer, particularly in young adults under 50 years of age, and among participants with one or two abnormal metabolic parameters. A more accurate indicator of metabolic dysfunction, beyond metabolic syndrome, is needed to better assist in stratifying individuals for obesity-related cancer risk.

[PMID: 36671850 PMCID: PMC9855898 DOI: 10.3390/bios13010015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2022] [Revised: 12/12/2022] [Accepted: 12/21/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Metabolic syndrome is a complex of interrelated risk factors for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Thus, new point-of-care diagnostic tools are essential for unambiguously distinguishing MetS patients, providing results in rapid time. Herein, we evaluated the potential of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy combined with chemometric tools to detect spectra markers indicative of metabolic syndrome. Around 105 plasma samples were collected and divided into two groups according to the presence of at least three of the five clinical parameters used for MetS diagnosis. A dual classification approach was studied based on selecting the most important spectral variable and classification methods, linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and SIMCA class modelling, respectively. The same classification methods were applied to measured clinical parameters at our disposal. Thus, the classification's performance on reduced spectra fingerprints and measured clinical parameters were compared. Both approaches achieved excellent discrimination results among groups, providing almost 100% accuracy. Nevertheless, SIMCA class modelling showed higher classification performance between MetS and no MetS for IR-reduced variables compared to clinical variables. We finally discuss the potential of this method to be used as a supportive diagnostic or screening tool in clinical routines.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a worldwide pandemic and complex disorder associated with colorectal cancer (CRC). This study aims to identify the influence of number of MetS components on CRC incidence and mortality, using a national, longitudinal dataset of hospital care in Taiwan.
Methods
Patient data from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) from 2001 to 2008 were extracted. Individuals with at least one inpatient diagnosis or 2 outpatient visits with any MetS component found within one year were identified and included. Subjects died within 12 months after the presence of MetS components or had any prior cancer were excluded. The study cohort were then divided into two groups: subjects who had more (i.e., 3 to 4) MetS components and those who had fewer (i.e., 1 to 2) MetS components. An 2:1 propensity score (PS) matching were performed to balance the baseline characteristics between the groups. Cox regression analyses were conducted to compare the CRC incidence and all-cause mortality at follow-up between subjects with more MetS components versus fewer components.
Results
After matching, a total of 119,843 subjects (78,274 with 1–2 and 41,569 with 3–4 MetS components) were analyzed. After adjusting for confounders, subjects with 3–4 MetS components had a significantly higher risk of CRC [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR), 1.28; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.15–1.43, p < 0.001) and all-cause mortality (aHR, 1.13; 95% CI, 1.08–1.17, p < 0.001) than those with only 1–2 MetS components. In stratified analyses, the greatest increased risk of CRC incidence that 3–4 MetS components posed as compared to 1–2 MetS components was seen in subjects without CHD history (aHR, 1.41, 95% CI, 1.23–1.62, p < 0.001). In addition, 3–4 MetS components (vs. 1–2) led to greater all-cause mortality among the subjects < 65y, both genders, with or without CHD, subjects without CKD hisotry, both aspirin users and non-users, users of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and users of statin.
Conclusion
Compared with 1–2 components, subjects with 3–4 MetS components are at greater risk of CRC and death at follow-up. This study also demonstrates the risks for CRC and all-cause mortality in certain subgroups of individuals with 3–4 MetS components compared to 1–2 components. These findings may help clinicians on the CRC risk stratification according to individuals’ characteristics, as well as to optimize the strategy of MetS surveillance and control in order to prevent CRC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The increasing prevalence of obesity at younger ages is concurrent with an increased earlier-onset colorectal cancer (CRC) (before age 50 years) incidence, particularly left-sided colon cancer. We investigated whether obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are associated with increased earlier-onset CRC risk according to tumor location. METHODS Our nationwide population-based cohort study enrolled 9,774,081 individuals who underwent health checkups under the Korean National Health Insurance Service from 2009 to 2010, with follow-up until 2019. We collected data on age, sex, lifestyle factors, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), blood pressure, and laboratory findings. A multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was performed. RESULTS A total of 8320 earlier-onset and 57,257 later-onset CRC cases developed during follow-up. MetS was associated with increased earlier-onset CRC (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.20; 95% CI, 1.14-1.27), similar to later-onset CRC (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.17-1.21). The adjusted hazard ratios for earlier-onset CRC with 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 MetS components were 1.07 (95% CI, 1.01-1.13), 1.13 (95% CI, 1.06-1.21), 1.25 (95% CI, 1.16-1.35), 1.27 (95% CI, 1.15-1.41), and 1.50 (95% CI, 1.26-1.79), respectively (P for trend < .0001). We found that higher body mass index and larger waist circumference were significantly associated with increased earlier-onset CRC (P for trend < .0001). These dose-response associations were significant in distal colon and rectal cancers, although not in proximal colon cancers. CONCLUSIONS MetS and obesity are positively associated with CRC before age 50 years with a similar magnitude of association as people diagnosed after age 50 years. Thus, people younger than 50 years with MetS require effective preventive interventions to help reduce CRC risk.

Abstract
PURPOSE Few studies have been conducted on the association between oral cavity cancer and metabolic diseases. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between oral cavity cancer and metabolic diseases. METHODS This cohort study used the database of the Korean National Health Insurance Service, which contains medical data of 97% of the Korean population. Oral cavity cancer occurred in a total of 2718 patients. Metabolic syndrome was defined according to IDF criteria. The Cox proportional hazard regression model was used. RESULTS The HR for oral cavity cancer in patients with metabolic syndrome was 1.113(95% CI 1.006-1.232), which was significantly higher than that in normal patients, especially in males (p = 0.0386). When the number of metabolic syndrome factors was ≥ 3, the HR of oral cavity cancer was 1.191(95% CI 1.026-1.383), which was significantly higher than that of 0 metabolic syndrome factors, especially in males (p = 0.0218). When the number of metabolic syndrome factors was ≥ 3, the HR for oral cavity cancer was 1.439(95% CI 1.066-1.942), which was significantly higher than that of 0 metabolic syndrome factors, especially in males aged < 50 years (p = 0.0173). CONCLUSION Metabolic syndrome increases the risk of oral cavity cancer only in males. In addition, the incidence of oral cavity cancer increased as the number of factors constituting metabolic syndrome increased, only in young males aged < 50 years. Thus, metabolic syndrome is an important risk factor for oral cavity cancer, particularly in young males.

Abstract
The rapidly increasing coincidence of thyroid cancer and metabolic syndrome (MS) in recent decades suggests an association between the two disorders. To investigate this association, we conducted a nationwide study of a large-scale patient cohort. Between 2009 and 2011, data were collected by the Korean National Health Insurance Service for 4,658,473 persons aged 40−70 years without thyroid cancer. During the six-year follow-up period, participants were monitored for the development of thyroid cancer. The relative risks and incidences of thyroid cancer were calculated using multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses after adjusting for age and body mass index. The risk of thyroid cancer was significantly elevated in men and women with MS or MS components, except for hyperglycaemia (p = 0.723) or hypertriglyceridemia (p = 0.211) in men. The incidence of thyroid cancer per 10,000 person-years in individuals with MS was significantly higher in men (6.2, p < 0.001) and women (21.3, p < 0.001) compared to those without MS. Additionally, the risk of thyroid cancer increased significantly with an increasing number of MS components even in individuals with only one or two MS components. MS and its components were significantly associated with increased risk of developing thyroid cancer.

Metabolic obesity phenotypes: a friend or foe of digestive polyps?-An observational study based on National Inpatient Database. Metabolism 2022; 132:155201. [PMID: 35427603 DOI: 10.1016/j.metabol.2022.155201] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2022] [Revised: 04/06/2022] [Accepted: 04/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Obesity is associated with an increased risk of digestive polyps, whereas all obesity are not created equally. The role of metabolic states in occurrence risks of polyps among individuals with varying degrees of obesity remains unknown. Our study aimed to evaluate the association between metabolic obesity phenotypes and the occurrence of digestive polyps. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Data from 9,278,949 patients between 2016 and 2018 from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database, a nationally representative database of all discharges from US health-care hospitals, were analyzed. According to obesity phenotype, the study population was classified into four groups: metabolically healthy nonobese (MHNO), metabolically unhealthy nonobese (MUNO), metabolically healthy obese (MHO) and metabolically unhealthy obese (MUO). We calculated the incidence rates of various digestive polyps (stomach/duodenum, colon and rectum polyps) among these participants by searching the hospital records for ICD-10 diagnosis codes indicating each gastric, duodenum, colon or rectal polyps. The multiple stepwise regression analysis and further in-depth subgroup analysis were used to determine the associations between metabolic obesity phenotypes and the occurrence of digestive polyps. RESULTS In the total or female population, those with the MUNO and MUO phenotypes had significantly higher prevalence of digestive polyps compared with individuals with the MHNO or MHO phenotypes (all p < 0.05) and a significant difference was not found between MUNO and MUO phenotypes (p > 0.05). Obese subjects seem to be more likely to develop stomach and duodenum polyps or colon polyps than non-obese subjects in metabolically healthy people of males (MHO vs. MHNO, p < 0.05), whereas obesity status seems to have little effect on the occurrence of digestive polyps in metabolically healthy people of females (MHO vs. MHNO, p>0.05). After adjusting for the potential confounders, the MHO, MUNO and MUO phenotypes were all risk factors for stomach and duodenum polyps (OR = 1.46, 95% CI: 1.36-1.58, p< 0.01; OR = 1.19, 95% CI: 1.14-1.25, p< 0.01; OR = 1.44, 95% CI: 1.35-1.55, p< 0.01, respectively) or colon polyps (OR = 1.28, 95% CI: 1.21-1.35, p< 0.01; OR = 1.18, 95% CI: 1.14-1.22, p< 0.01; OR = 1.46, 95% CI: 1.38-1.54, p< 0.01, respectively) compared with the MHNO phenotype,especially in menopausal female. Interestingly, we also observed in further in-depth subgroup analysis that metabolic abnormalities may have a greater impact on the occurrence of digestive polyps than obesity (all p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Both metabolic abnormities and obesity were associated with a higher risk of digestive polyps. The effect of metabolism on digestive polyp occurrence may be stronger than that of obesity, highlighting the importance of abnormal metabolic status modification regardless of obesity status. Clinical intervention should not only focus on obesity, but also on metabolic abnormalities to decrease digestive polyp risk.

Abstract
Background Inflammation and metabolic syndrome (MetS) may act synergistically and possibly accelerate the initiation and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). We prospectively examined the joint effect of MetS and inflammation on the risk of CRC. Methods We studied 92,770 individuals from the Kailuan study. MetS was defined based on the presence of three or more of the following components. (1) high glucose: FPG > 5.6 mmol/L; (2) high blood pressure: SBP ≥ 130 mmHg or DBP ≥ 85 mmHg; (3) high triglycerides: triglycerides > 1.69 mmol/L; (4) low HDL-C: HDL-C < 1.04 mmol/L in men or 1.29 mmol/L in women; and (5) visceral adiposity: waist circumference ≥ 85 cm in men or 80 cm in women. Inflammation was defined as hs-CRP ≥ 3 mg/L. We divided participants into four groups for the primary exposure according to the presence/absence of inflammation and presence/absence of MetS. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to evaluate the association of MetS and/or inflammation with the risk of CRC. Results Compared with metabolically healthy noninflammatory individuals, inflammatory participants without MetS and inflammatory participants with MetS were associated with a 1.3-fold and 4.18-fold increased risk of CRC with corresponding HRs (95% CI) of 1.34 (1.09, 1.64) and 4.18 (3.11, 5.62), respectively. The combination of MetS and inflammation was associated with the highest risk of CRC in all subgroups, especially among participants who were female, in younger age, and obese. Sensitivity analyses further validated our primary findings. Conclusions We found the combination of MetS and inflammation could significantly increase the risk of CRC.

[PMID: 35156283 DOI: 10.1111/codi.16092] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2021] [Revised: 12/26/2021] [Accepted: 01/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
AIM Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of factors including obesity, hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia and hyperlipidaemia. It has been associated with an increased risk of colorectal neoplasia. This systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the association between MetS and (i) recurrence of adenomas or occurrence of CRC in patients with prior adenomas, and (ii) survival in patients with CRC. METHOD MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus and Web of Science were searched up to 22 November 2019. Two authors independently conducted title and abstract screening; full text of eligible studies was evaluated. Where ≥3 studies reported effect measures for a specific outcome, meta-analysis using random effects model was conducted. I2 was used to assess between-study heterogeneity. Quality appraisal was undertaken with the Newcastle-Ottawa Score. RESULTS The search identified 1,764 articles, 55 underwent full text screening, resulting in a total of 15 eligible studies. Five studies reported on metachronous neoplasia, with differing outcomes precluded a meta-analysis. No consistent relationship between MetS and metachronous neoplasia was found. Ten studies reported on survival outcomes. MetS was associated with poorer CRC-specific survival (HR = 1.8, 95% CI: 1.04-3.12, I2 = 92.7%, n = 3). Progression-free survival was also worse but this did not reach statistical significance (HR = 1.12, 95% CI: 0.89-1.42, I2 = 85.6%, n = 3). There was no association with overall survival (HR = 1.04, 95% CI: 0.94-1.15, I2 = 43.7%, n = 7). Significant heterogeneity was present but subgroup analysis did not account for this. CONCLUSION MetS is associated with poorer CRC-specific survival, but evidence is inconsistent on metachronous neoplasia. Further research is warranted to better understand the impact of MetS on the adenoma-carcinoma pathway.

Abstract
Since the discovery of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in the late past century, cancer research has been overwhelmingly focused on the genetics and biology of tumor cells and hence has addressed mostly cell-autonomous processes with emphasis on traditional driver/passenger genetic models. Nevertheless, over that same period, multiple seminal observations have accumulated highlighting the role of non-cell autonomous effectors in tumor growth and metastasis. However, given that cell autonomous and non-autonomous events are observed together at the time of diagnosis, it is in fact impossible to know whether the malignant transformation is initiated by cell autonomous oncogenic events or by non-cell autonomous conditions generated by alterations of the tissue-body ecosystem. This review aims at addressing this issue by taking the option of defining malignancy as a complex genetic trait incorporating genetically determined reciprocal interactions between tumor cells and tissue-body ecosystem.

Abstract
While the gut microbiome is composed of numerous bacteria, specific bacteria within the gut may play a significant role in carcinogenesis, progression, and metastasis of colorectal carcinoma (CRC). Certain microbial species are known to be associated with specific cancers; however, the interrelationship between bacteria and metastasis is still enigmatic. Mounting evidence suggests that bacteria participate in cancer organotropism during solid tumor metastasis. A critical review of the literature was conducted to better characterize what is known about bacteria populating a distant site and whether a tumor depends upon the same microenvironment during or after metastasis. The processes of carcinogenesis, tumor growth and metastatic spread in the setting of bacterial infection were examined in detail. The literature was scrutinized to discover the role of the lymphatic and venous systems in tumor metastasis and how microbes affect these processes. Some bacteria have a potent ability to enhance epithelial–mesenchymal transition, a critical step in the metastatic cascade. Bacteria also can modify the microenvironment and the local immune profile at a metastatic site. Early targeted antibiotic therapy should be further investigated as a measure to prevent metastatic spread in the setting of bacterial infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As the third most common type of cancer in the United States, colorectal cancer (CRC) was previously thought to be rare in young populations. Despite a decrease in the overall incidence of CRC, the rate of new cases under 50 years old has been continuously increasing. AIM The purpose of our study was to analyze risk factors of young-onset CRC. METHODS Commercially available software platform, Explorys, was used to extract data from a collective healthcare database electronically. RESULTS In this database, 13,800 young adults (age 20-50) were diagnosed with primary colorectal malignancy. Compared to subjects with a previous family history of CRC who had an odds ratio of 17.78, those diagnosed with primary malignant neoplasm of breast and inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis and Crohn's) had odds ratios of 16.94, 4.4, and 3.7 for young-onset CRC, respectively. Patients with a history of alcohol abuse, smoking, obesity, diabetes mellitus, and hyperlipidemia had higher chances of developing young-onset CRC. In addition, the odds of CRC were lower in Hispanic ethnicity in comparison to Caucasians (OR: 0.54), with no statically significant differences between Caucasian, African American, and Asian populations. CONCLUSION Currently, this is an expansive study investigating the risk factors for early-onset CRC. The analysis showed factors such as family and individual history of IBD to have high association with early onset. Notably, an individual history of breast malignancy was strongly associated with early-onset CRC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS This study aimed to evaluate and compare the incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) in elderly participants aged ≥75 years and those <75 years who had previously undergone a colonoscopy. METHODS This retrospective cohort study was conducted at the Center for Preventive Medicine at St. Luke's International Hospital in Japan. All participants who underwent screening colonoscopy between 2005 and 2015 were included and followed up until 2020. Our primary outcome was the identification of CRC as confirmed by pathology after screening colonoscopy. We compared the development of CRC between the two groups using survival analyses. A sub-analysis to evaluate the incidence of CRC among participants with and without neoplastic polyp resection at initial colonoscopy was also performed. RESULTS A total of 8350 participants were enrolled; the median follow-up period was 2982 days (interquartile range:1932-4141), mean age was 52.5 years (SD: 11.5) and 5274 (61.3%) participants were men. The incidence of CRC during the follow-up period was 82 (0.95%) among all participants and 11 (4.31%) among the elderly participants. Elderly participants showed a significantly higher incidence of CRC than the other group [hazard ratio, 2.56; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.14-5.75]. The sub-analysis showed that out of 2878 participants with a neoplastic polyp at the initial colonoscopy, 52 (1.81%) developed CRC (hazard ratio, 2.85; 95% CI, 1.16-6.98). CONCLUSIONS A repeat colonoscopy might be warranted in people with high activities of daily living and few comorbidities, especially if there is a history of neoplastic polypectomy at the first colonoscopy.

Abstract
Objective To explore the effects of metabolic syndrome (MetS) on the prognosis of endometrial cancer (EC) and to identify key components of MetS associated with EC. Methods A total of 506 patients surgically diagnosed with EC were analyzed in this study. These patients were diagnosed with EC in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the People's Hospital of Peking University between 2010 and 2016. The follow-up time was cut off at December 2019. MetS was characterized based on standards provided by the Chinese Diabetes Society in 2004. Results Among the 506 EC patients analyzed, 153 patients were diagnosed with MetS. MetS patients were more likely to be older and postmenopausal. MetS was positively related to tumor grade, stage, LNM, LVSI, and MI. The univariate analysis showed that MetS was closely related to the OS (HR = 2.14; P = 0.032) and RFS (HR = 1.80; P = 0.045) of EC patients. K-M analysis also indicated that EC patients with MetS had shorter OS and RFS than EC patients without MetS. More specifically, patients that had ≥3 components showed a worse outcome compared with patients only having 0 or 1-2 components (P <0.05). In the multivariate-adjust model, after adjusting for age, histotype, tumor grade, and stage, HDL-C was found to be associated with increased risk of death related to EC (HR = 2.2, P = 0.034). However, MetS did not significantly correlate with this. ROC analysis revealed that the area under the ROC curve of combined factors (HDL-C + grade + stage) was better than traditional stage or grade at 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates. From this, a nomogram based on HDL-C, grade, and stage was constructed to predict survival of EC patients. Calibration curve analysis and decision curve analysis (DCA) showed the nomogram we constructed could better predict the survival of EC patients. Conclusion MetS is closely related to poor prognosis in EC patients. The prevalence of individual MetS components increase with worse outcomes in EC patients. A nomogram based on HDL-C, grade, and stage has good ability to predict survival of EC patients.

Abstract
Overweight, obesity, and metabolic syndrome (MetS) have become epidemic conditions affecting 39%, 13%, and 20% of the population respectively. The aim of this article is to review the literature on the association of obesity and MetS with the risk of cancer. We also explore the effect of lifestyle modifications, such as diet, physical activity, and antidiabetic medications, on cancer incidence. Increased body mass index (BMI) has been associated with a multitude of site-specific cancers, reaching relative risk (RR) 1.54 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.47-1.61] per 5 unit increase for endometrial cancer, as well as with overall cancer risk (RR 1.03, 95% CI 1.02-1.05). Central adiposity measured by waist circumference or waist-to-hip ratio has been suggested as a stronger predictor than BMI for several cancers, such as colorectal cancer. Metabolic Syndrome has been consistently and positively associated with the risk of very common cancers like colorectal (RR 1.34, 95% CI 1.24-1.44), endometrial (RR 1.62, 95% CI 1.26-2.07) and postmenopausal breast cancer (RR 2.01, 95% CI 1.55-2.60). Hyperglycemia and subsequently T2DM have been also shown to increase the risk of cancer. Nevertheless, these risk factors are modifiable and therefore implementing lifestyle modifications could prevent an important number of cancer cases. Adherence to cancer prevention guidelines, including maintaining a healthy weight, having regular physical exercise (RR 0.58-0.90 for different cite specific cancers) and following a healthy dietary pattern (RR 0.74-0.94 for different cite specific cancers) have a protective effect on the risk of cancer. The strength of this review is the presentation of the best evidence, as the data derive mainly from meta-analyses. Public health policies should focus on the modification of risk factors and future research is needed to reveal the pathophysiological links between these risk factors and cancer to develop more efficient prevention and treatment strategies.

Abstract
Simple Summary This systematic review sifted through the exogenous dietary and lifestyle risk factors associated with early-onset colorectal cancer, going through the putative involvement of these exogenous risk factors in epigenetic and microbiota modifications. Given the burden of early-onset colorectal cancer and its globally increasing trend with scant literature on its pathogenesis, we believe it would be of benefit to highlight the importance of further systematic and large studies. Indeed, dietary and lifestyle modification could complement colorectal screening for early-onset colorectal cancer prevention. Abstract The incidence of early-onset colorectal cancer, defined as colorectal cancer occurring in young adults under the age of 50, is increasing globally. Knowledge of the etiological factors in young adults is far from complete. Questionable eoCRCs’ exogenous factors are represented by processed meat, sugary drinks, alcohol, Western dietary pattern, overweight and obesity, physical inactivity, and smoking, though with heterogeneous results. Therefore, we performed a systematic review to summarize the current evidence on the role of diet and lifestyle as eoCRC risk factors. We systematically searched PubMed, Scopus, and EMBASE up to July 2021, for original studies evaluating diet, alcohol, physical activity, BMI, and smoking in eoCRC and included twenty-six studies. Indeed, the exogenous factors could represent modifiable key factors, whose recognition could establish areas of future interventions through public health strategies for eoCRC primary prevention. Additionally, we discussed the role of additional non-modifiable risk factors, and of epigenetic regulation and microbiota as mediators of the eoCRC triggered by diet and lifestyle.

Risk of Developing Metabolic Syndrome Is Affected by Length of Daily Siesta: Results from a Prospective Cohort Study. Nutrients 2021; 13:nu13114182.

Abstract
Background: Siesta has been associated with increased incidence of cardiovascular disease but the mechanism remains unclear. New studies into the relationship between siesta and metabolic syndrome have identified siesta length as a crucial differential, suggesting that siesta less than 40 min is associated with decreased risk of metabolic syndrome, while longer siesta is associated with increased risk. We aimed to investigate the effect of siesta duration on development of metabolic syndrome in a Mediterranean population using a prospective cohort study design. Methods: Our sample consisted of 9161 participants of the SUN cohort without components of metabolic syndrome at baseline. Siesta exposure was assessed at baseline and the development of metabolic syndrome components was assessed after an average 6.8 years of follow-up. We estimated odds ratios and fitted logistic regression models to adjust for potential cofounders including night-time sleep duration and quality, as well as other diet, health, and lifestyle factors. Results: We observed a positive association between average daily siesta >30 min and development of metabolic syndrome (aOR = 1.39 CI: 1.03–1.88). We found no significant difference in risk of developing metabolic syndrome between the group averaging ≤30 min of daily siesta and the group not taking siesta (aOR = 1.07 CI: 0.83–1.37). Further analysis suggested that average daily siesta <15 min may reduce risk of metabolic syndrome. Conclusions: Our study supports the J-curve model of the association between siesta and risk of metabolic syndrome, but suggests the protective effect is limited to a shorter range of siesta length than previously proposed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome (MetS) has been identified as a contributor to cancer development. However, reports concerning the association between MetS and colorectal cancer (CRC) have been inconsistent. This study investigated whether MetS, its components, and the number of components increase the risk of CRC. METHODS This was a prospective cohort study of 41,837 participants recruited from August 2002 to December 2014 from the National Cancer Center in South Korea. The participants were followed until December 2017 to identify incident CRC cases. The participants underwent laboratory tests at the baseline. Additionally, a self-administered questionnaire collected information concerning lifestyle and general characteristics at the baseline. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to calculate the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to explore the association between MetS and its components and CRC risk after adjustments for confounding variables. RESULTS In total, 128 incident CRC cases were identified during the follow-up period. An increased CRC risk was found among participants with MetS (HR, 1.63; 95% CI, 1.08-2.44). Additionally, elevated blood pressure (HR, 1.50; 95% CI, 1.05-2.15) and a high fasting glucose level (HR, 1.80; 95% CI, 1.23-2.63) were associated with an elevated risk of CRC. Notably, an increased risk was identified among participants with abdominal obesity coexisting with another component of MetS. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that MetS is a risk factor for CRC. Greater emphasis should be placed on the importance of CRC screening among individuals with abdominal obesity coexisting with another component of MetS. LAY SUMMARY Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks as the third most common cancer type in terms of incidence. Metabolic syndrome (MetS) has been identified as a contributor to cancer development. However, the association between MetS and CRC remains controversial because of a lack of consistent findings in previous studies. In this study, the National Cholesterol Education Program's Adult Treatment Panel III guidelines are used for the diagnosis of MetS. MetS is found to be a predictor of CRC. Additionally, the importance of CRC screening among individuals with 2 components of MetS should be emphasized.

Abstract
CONTEXT Although diabetes mellitus (DM) was reported to be associated with incident colorectal cancer (CRC), the detailed association between fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and incident CRC has not been fully understood. OBJECTIVE We assessed whether hyperglycemia is associated with a higher risk for CRC. DESIGN Analyses were conducted using the JMDC Claims Database [n = 1 441 311; median age (interquartile range), 46 (40-54) years; 56.6% men). None of the participants were taking antidiabetic medication or had a history of CRC, colorectal polyps, or inflammatory bowel disease. Participants were categorized as normal FPG (FPG level < 100 mg/dL; 1 125 647 individuals), normal-high FPG (FPG level = 100-109 mg/dL; 210 365 individuals), impaired fasting glucose (IFG; FPG level = 110-125 mg/dL; 74 836 individuals), and DM (FPG level ≥ 126 mg/dL; 30 463 individuals). RESULTS Over a mean follow-up of 1137 ± 824 days, 5566 CRC events occurred. After multivariable adjustment, the hazard ratios for CRC events were 1.10 (95% CI 1.03-1.18) for normal-high FPG, 1.24 (95% CI 1.13-1.37) for IFG, and 1.36 (95% CI 1.19-1.55) for DM vs normal FPG. We confirmed this association in sensitivity analyses excluding those with a follow-up of< 365 days and obese participants. CONCLUSION The risk of CRC increased with elevated FPG category. FPG measurements would help to identify people at high-risk for future CRC.

[PMID: 34595215 PMCID: PMC8476781 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.695454] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2021] [Accepted: 08/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Understanding the epidemiology of cardiovascular disease (CVD) related comorbidity is a key strategy for improving the outcomes of patients with cancer. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the distribution of cardiovascular comorbidities and cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) among five cancer sites. Methods: This is a single-centered, cross-sectional study performed in Dalian, China. Between 2008 and 2018, all newly diagnosed cancer in the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University, China were screened. Clinical data were extracted from a comprehensive electronic health record system. Results: 35861 patients with lung, colorectal, gastric, breast, and thyroid cancer were collected retrospectively. The most prevalent CVDs in descending order were hypertension (21.9%), followed by coronary heart disease (6.5%), atrial fibrillation (2.9%), and heart failure (1%). The prevalence of hypertension significantly varies between lung (21.3%), colorectal (27.3%), gastric (22.5%), breast (16.7%), and thyroid cancer (22.4%) (P < 0.001). CVRF varies with cancer sites. Age, sex, total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, smoking, alcohol use, and diabetes mellitus (DM) are common risk factors associated with CVD at different cancer sites. The association between DM and presence of CVD was strong in breast (odds ratio [OR] = 4.472, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.075-6.504, P < 0.001), lung (OR = 3.943; 95% CI: 3.270-4.754, P < 0.001), colorectal (OR = 3.049; 95% CI: 2.326-3.996, P < 0.001), and gastric (OR = 2.508; 95% CI: 1.927-3.264, P < 0.001) cancer. Conclusion: Cancer patients had a significant burden of CVD and increased CVRF. The prevalence of CVRF and CVD comorbidity differ for cancer types. DM remains significantly associated with CVD at different cancer sites except for thyroid cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE Observational studies have reported an association between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and colorectal cancer risk with inconsistent risk estimates. We conducted this meta-analysis to evaluate the risk of colorectal cancer in individuals with MetS. METHODS PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science were searched for related studies from database inception to 21 January 2021. Risk estimates for colorectal cancer were extracted from individual articles and pooled using a fixed-effect or random-effect model according to the heterogeneity. RESULTS MetS was significantly associated with a higher risk of colorectal cancer in both sexes (relative risk [RR] 1.36, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.26-1.47, P < 0.001), men (RR 1.33, 95% CI 1.21-1.47, P < 0.001), and women (RR 1.34, 95% CI 1.19-1.52, P < 0.001). The risk of colorectal cancer seemed to increase as the number of MetS components rose. Moreover, the high body mass index (BMI)/waist circumference (WC) and hyperglycemia were all significantly associated with a higher risk of colorectal cancer (RR 1.28 [1.20-1.37] and 1.31 [1.14-1.50] in both sexes, RR 1.31 [1.19-1.45] and 1.23 [1.03-1.46] in men, and RR 1.22 [1.02-1.46] and 1.63 [1.16-2.28] in women, respectively). CONCLUSIONS MetS was significantly associated with a higher risk of colorectal cancer. The high BMI/WC or hyperglycemia might largely account for this association. Further analysis suggested that, as the number of MetS components increased, the risk of colorectal cancer rose.

Abstract
This study aimed to identify the relationships between the keywords of research on metabolic syndrome in cancer survivors and the entire knowledge research structure, through topic extraction from a macro perspective. From six electronic databases, 918 studies published between 1996 and 2019 were identified and reviewed, and 365 were included. Keyword network analysis and topic modeling were applied to examine the studies. In keyword network analysis, "obesity," "treatment," "breast cancer," "body mass index," and "prostate cancer" were the major keywords, whereas "obesity" and "breast" were the dominant keywords and ranked high in frequency, degree centrality, and betweenness centrality. In topic modeling, five clustered topics emerged, namely metabolic syndrome component, post CTX(chemotherapy) sequence, prostate-specific antigen-sensitive plot, lifestyle formation, and insulin fluctuation. Topic 2, post CTX sequence, showed the highest salience in earlier studies, but this has decreased over time, and the themes of the studies have also broadened. This study may provide critical basic data for determining the changing trends of research on metabolic syndrome in cancer survivors and for predicting the direction of future research through the visualization of the effects and interactions between the major keywords in research on metabolic syndrome in cancer survivors.

Abstract
The multiple-hit hypothesis of cancer, including colorectal cancer (CRC), states that neoplastic development requires a sequence of mutations and epigenetic changes in driver genes. We have previously proposed that obesity increases CRC risk by supporting neoplastic development through adipokine-induced signaling, and this proliferative signaling substitutes for specific driver gene mutations. In support of this hypothesis, analyses of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) mutation data have revealed that obese patients with microsatellite stable CRC exhibit fewer driver gene mutations than CRC patients with normal body mass index. The lower number of driver gene mutations required for cancer development may shorten the neoplastic process and lead to an early onset of CRC. Therefore, obesity could be one factor explaining the rise of CRC incidence among younger individuals (< 50 years of age); furthermore, early onset CRC has been associated with the increasing incidence of metabolic syndrome and obesity in this age group. However, CRC incidence among older individuals (> 50 years of age) is stable or declining, despite the high rates of metabolic syndrome and obesity in this age group. In search for explanations of this phenomenon, we discuss several factors that may contribute to the divergent CRC incidence trends in populations under, and above, the age of 50, despite the rising levels of metabolic syndrome and obesity across all ages. First, older individuals with metabolic dysregulation are more frequently on maintenance medications, such as aspirin, β-blockers, lipid-lowering drugs, ACE inhibitors, metformin, etc., compared to younger individuals. Such treatments may suppress specific adipokine-induced proliferative signaling pathways, and therefore counteract and slow down neoplastic development in medicated overweight/obese individuals. Second, in the past decades, the incidence of infectious diseases accompanied by febrile episodes has been decreasing and the use of antipyretics increasing. Compared to normal cells, neoplastic cells are more sensitive to high body temperature; therefore, the decreased number of febrile episodes in childhood and adolescence may contribute to increased cancer incidence before the age of 50. Third, obesity at younger age may expand the stem cell compartment. An increased number of intestinal stem cells and stem cell divisions translates into a higher probability of sporadic mutations in the stem cells, and therefore, a greater chance of neoplasia. In conclusion, we hypothesize that early onset CRC has multifactorial causation and the proposed associations could be examined through analyses of existing data.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Whether metabolic syndrome is a risk factor of colorectal adenoma has spurred debate. We systematically meta-analyzed all clinical studies associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS)/metabolic components and colorectal adenoma risk and quantified the dose-response association between them, aiming to provide more clues for better decision-making. METHODS We searched PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library through June 2020 for clinical studies of MetS and colorectal adenoma risk. RevMan 5.3 software and STATA 12.0 software were employed for meta-analysis. RESULTS Seventeen studies representing 44,336 participants were eligible for analysis. The overall meta-analysis showed that MetS patients had increased risk of colorectal adenoma (OR: 1.39, 95% CI 1.24-1.57; P < 0.05). Dose-response analysis presented that every increased number of Mets components was associated with a 8% increment of colorectal adenoma risk(OR: 1.08; 95% CI: 1.04-1.11). Subgroup analysis by age revealed a higher colorectal adenoma risk in MetS patients 50 years or older (OR 1.46; 95% CI 1.21-1.76; P < 0.0001), rather than MetS patients younger than 50 years old (OR 1.23; 95% CI 0.95-1.59; P = 0.11).When stratified by sex, the analysis revealed a higher risk of colorectal adenoma in male MetS patients (OR 1.32; 95% CI 1.15-1.53; P = 0.0001), rather than females (OR 1.65; 95% CI 0.90-3.02; P = 0.10). The analysis split by adenoma location showed that the right colon (OR 1.35; 95% CI 1.04-1.75; P = 0.03), instead of the left colon (OR 1.16; 95% CI 0.84-1.59; P = 0.37) or rectum(OR 1.26; 95% CI 0.89-1.78; P = 0.20), was the predilection site associated with increased colorectal adenoma risk in MetS patients. CONCLUSIONS Overall, our meta-analysis showed that MetS was associated with a higher risk of colorectal adenoma. MetS patients, especially old (≥50 years) male patients, should be a risk population for colorectal adenoma screening so that they can benefit from behavioural interventions that can help prevent the development of colorectal cancer.

Abstract
Several studies are described that contribute to the systematic exploration of new aspects of digestion, fermentation, and biological activities of pectic polysaccharides (PPS) leading to a better understanding of prebiotics. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is thought to be associated with the dysbacteriosis induced by different environmental agents in genetically susceptible persons. PPS are considered as an indispensable gut-microbiota-accessible carbohydrate that play a dominant role in maintaining gut microbiota balance and show a better effect in ameliorating IBD than some traditional prebiotics. The aim of this review is to summarize the fermentation characteristics of PPS, highlight its role in improving IBD, and propose a view that PPS may be a new and effective prebiotic.

Abstract
Providing physical activity advice in the bowel cancer screening setting could help to reduce the risk of cancer and cardiometabolic disease in older adults. This study investigated the views of healthcare professionals (HCPs) regarding the provision of physical activity advice as part of the UK Bowel Cancer Screening Programme. A purposive sample of HCPs (aged 22-63 years, with 1-26 years of experience) from four bowel cancer screening disciplines (four endoscopists, four colorectal surgeons, four staff nurses and four specialist screening practitioners) were recruited from a large National Health Service gastroenterology unit. Data collection used individual interviews and focus groups, with topics being guided by an a priori topic guide. All interviews and focus groups were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Three key themes, which contextualize the views and perceptions of HCPs recruited to the study, emerged from the framework analysis: (i) appraisal of the concept; (ii) perceived barriers to implementation; (iii) steps to implementation. While the general concept was viewed positively, there were differences of opinion and a range of perceived barriers were revealed. Ideas for effective implementation were also presented, taking into consideration the need for time efficiencies and importance of optimizing effectiveness. This qualitative study provided important insights into the perceptions of HCPs regarding the provision of physical activity advice in the bowel cancer screening setting, and yielded novel ideas for effective implementation.

Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) Signaling in Glucose Metabolism in Colorectal Cancer. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22126434.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common aggressive carcinoma types worldwide, characterized by unfavorable curative effect and poor prognosis. Epidemiological data re-vealed that CRC risk is increased in patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its serum components (e.g., hyperglycemia). High glycemic index diets, which chronically raise post-prandial blood glucose, may at least in part increase colon cancer risk via the insulin/insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) signaling pathway. However, the underlying mechanisms linking IGF-1 and MetS are still poorly understood. Hyperactivated glucose uptake and aerobic glycolysis (the Warburg effect) are considered as a one of six hallmarks of cancer, including CRC. However, the role of insulin/IGF-1 signaling during the acquisition of the Warburg metabolic phenotypes by CRC cells is still poorly understood. It most likely results from the interaction of multiple processes, directly or indirectly regulated by IGF-1, such as activation of PI3K/Akt/mTORC, and Raf/MAPK signaling pathways, activation of glucose transporters (e.g., GLUT1), activation of key glycolytic enzymes (e.g., LDHA, LDH5, HK II, and PFKFB3), aberrant expression of the oncogenes (e.g., MYC, and KRAS) and/or overexpression of signaling proteins (e.g., HIF-1, TGF-β1, PI3K, ERK, Akt, and mTOR). This review describes the role of IGF-1 in glucose metabolism in physiology and colorectal carcinogenesis, including the role of the insulin/IGF system in the Warburg effect. Furthermore, current therapeutic strategies aimed at repairing impaired glucose metabolism in CRC are indicated.

Abstract
We sought to assess the association between common antihypertensive drugs and the risk of incident cancer in treated hypertensive patients. Using the Korean National Health Insurance Service database, the risk of cancer incidence was analyzed in patients with hypertension who were initially free of cancer and used the following antihypertensive drug classes: Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs); angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs); beta blockers (BBs); calcium channel blockers (CCBs); and diuretics. During a median follow-up of 8.6 years, there were 4513 (6.4%) overall cancer incidences from an initial 70,549 individuals taking antihypertensive drugs. ARB use was associated with a decreased risk for overall cancer in a crude model (hazard ratio (HR): 0.744, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.696-0.794) and a fully adjusted model (HR: 0.833, 95% CI: 0.775-0.896) compared with individuals not taking ARBs. Other antihypertensive drugs, including ACEIs, CCBs, BBs, and diuretics, did not show significant associations with incident cancer overall. The long-term use of ARBs was significantly associated with a reduced risk of incident cancer over time. The users of common antihypertensive medications were not associated with an increased risk of cancer overall compared to users of other classes of antihypertensive drugs. ARB use was independently associated with a decreased risk of cancer overall compared to other antihypertensive drugs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Large epidemiological studies have demonstrated the link between metabolic syndrome and cancer development, including colorectal cancer. However, the influence of metabolic syndrome on disease progression is less well studied, particularly in the post-surgical setting. This study investigates the effect of metabolic syndrome on colorectal cancer recurrence (all-site and liver-specific) after curative surgery for Stage I-III disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS Consecutive patients who underwent curative resection for Stage I-III colorectal cancer in a single UK centre were prospectively recruited. Disease-free and overall survival with metabolic syndrome as a factor, were determined using the Kaplan-Meier technique. Hazard ratios for all-site and liver-specific recurrence were determined using univariable and multivariable Cox-regression models. RESULTS 1006 patients were recruited and followed up for a median of 50 months (IQR 30-67). 177 patients (17.6%) met the criteria for metabolic syndrome. 245 patients (25.4%) developed recurrence, 161 (16.0%) of these had liver recurrence. The presence of metabolic syndrome was associated with a reduction in disease-free survival from 69 to 58 months (p < 0.001) and overall survival from 74 to 61 months (p < 0.001). Metabolic syndrome was an independent predictor of all-site (HR 1.76; p < 0.001) and liver-specific (HR 1.74; p = 0.01) recurrence. CONCLUSION Metabolic syndrome is a predictor of all-site and liver-specific recurrence after primary resection of stage I-III colorectal cancer.

Abstract
The relationship between hypertension and risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) is unclear. This meta-analysis aims to explore the association between them. Six databases were searched for studies published before August 2019. The pooled relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to estimate the association between the hypertension and CRC risk. A total of 2841 potentially relevant articles were obtained, and 25 studies with a pooled 1.95 million participants were finally included in the meta-analysis. These results suggested a positive association between hypertension and risk of CRC with a pooled RR of 1.15 (95% CI: 1.08, 1.23). Male patients with hypertension had a 13% (95% CI: 1.06, 1.20) increased risk of CRC. The risk of colon cancer and rectal cancer in male patients was 1.17 (95% CI: 1.01, 1.36) and 1.35 (95% CI: 1.04, 1.74), respectively, while no association between hypertension and the risk of CRC in females was elucidated. This meta-analysis demonstrated that a positive association between hypertension and CRC exists, with male patients having a higher risk of developing CRC than female patients.

Abstract
Background: This meta-analysis was aimed to quantitatively assess the associations of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components with colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods: PubMed, EMBASE and Web of Science databases were systematically searched for eligible studies. A total of 18 studies for CRC incidence and 12 studies for CRC mortality were identified. Results: MetS was associated with an increased risk of CRC incidence and mortality in male (RR: 1.28, 95 % CI 1.16-1.39, and 1.24, 1.18-1.31, respectively) and correlated with an increased risk of CRC incidence in female (RR: 1.21, 1.13-1.30), but not with CRC mortality in female. MetS increased the risk of cancer-specific mortality (RR: 1.72, 1.03-2.42), but not overall mortality. The risk estimates of CRC incidence changed little depending on age, sex, cancer site, the type of studies, ethnicity, publication year, or definition of MetS. As for CRC mortality, further stratified analyses indicated statistical significance in studies with assessing cancer-specific survival outcome, in male, a cohort design, ethnicity of non-Chinese or with definition of MetS as ≥ 3 metabolic abnormalities. Obesity and hyperglycemia are risk factors of CRC incidence in both male and female. Only dysglycemia is the risk factor for CRC mortality. Conclusions: MetS is associated with an increased risk of CRC incidence and cancer-specific mortality, but not overall mortality. In addition, MetS may increase the CRC mortality in male rather than in female. However, since most of the studies on CRC mortality were conducted in Chinese, further studies are needed to clarify this connection.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is an independent risk factor for hepatocellular cancer (HCC). Currently, there is no highly sensitive and specific biomarkers for HCC surveillance in MetS population. Metabolomics has been reported as a powerful technology for biomarker discovery. In the present study, we aimed to explore novel biomarkers with high sensitivity and specificity for MetS-positive [MetS(+)] HCC by metabolomic analysis. At first, many serum metabolites were found dysregulated in MetS(+) HCC individuals. Validation of the dysregulated metabolites by targeted metabolite analyses revealed that serum L-glutamic acid (L-glu), pipecolic acid (PA) and 7-methylguanine (7-mG) were increased in MetS(+) HCC compared to MetS group. Then a biomarker panel including L-glu, PA and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) was identified as a novel biomarker for the diagnosis of MetS(+) HCC. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.87 for discriminating MetS(+) HCC from MetS group. The biomarker panel was capable of detecting small (AUC = 0.82) and early-stage (AUC = 0.78) tumors as well. Moreover, it exhibited great diagnostic performance (AUC = 0.93) for discriminating MetS(+) HCC from other MetS-associated cancers, including colorectal cancer and gastric cancer. Collectively, our study establishes a novel diagnostic tool for MetS(+) HCC.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2020; 17:ijerph17228687. [PMID: 33238496 PMCID: PMC7700241 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph17228687] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2020] [Revised: 11/18/2020] [Accepted: 11/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Background: This study aimed to determine the effects of metabolic syndrome (MetS) on colorectal cancer (CRC) using propensity score (PS) methods. Methods: The study subjects were 2417 men and 4568 women from the Korean National Cancer Center (KNCC) Community Cohort enrolled between 2003 and 2010. Odds risks (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using PS matching analysis, regression models adjusted by the PS or stratified into five strata according to PS, and PS weighting methods were calculated. Results: In women, MetS and abnormally high triglyceride (TG) levels were associated with CRC risk using the PS matching analysis (ORs, for MetS, 2.19 (95% CI, 1.10–4.33); for abnormal TG levels, 2.08 (95% CI, 1.07–4.02)). However, there were no significant associations between MetS and TG levels and CRC risk in men. Conclusions: Our study might provide additional evidence that deteriorated metabolic profiles increase the risk of CRC in women rather than men. Thus, this may have an important role in effective population-level interventions for deteriorated metabolic profiles at an early stage.
