Title
Inflammation regulation: Gene variants and inflammatory markers in colorectal neoplasia

Summary
To determine the relationship between common hapotypes of inflammatory genes and colorectal adenoma and cancer risk. To investigate the association between serum levels of inflammatory markers and colorectal adenoma risk. To determine whether serum inflammatory markers and variants of inflammatory genes modify the relation between energy balance and diet, and colorectal adenoma and cancer risk. To determine whether variants of inflammatory genes modify the relation between energy balance and diet, and colorectal cancer risk.
