Abstract
Several investigators have reported an association between low serum cholesterol levels and an increased frequency of colorectal cancer. Because low cholesterol levels may be a result of an established cancer, we have investigated the relation between serum cholesterol levels and the frequency of colorectal adenomas, which are thought to be precursors of colon cancer.This publication has 37 references indexed in Scilit:
