Abstract
We propose to investigate the effect of selenium intake on neoplastic
polyp formation, an intermediate stage of human colorectal carcinogenesis.
We propose to conduct a nested case-control study using data and stored
serum samples from a large, multi-centered polyps prevention trial
designed to test the efficacy of oral betacarotene, vitamin C and vitamin
E supplementation in reducing adenoma occurrences. The study was
comprised of patients with a history of adenoma from six clinical centers.
At study entry, participants completed a health habits and history
questionnaire and provided dietary intake data (using a standardize food
frequency questionnaire). Medical history information was updated semi-
annually. Serum samples were collected under mineral-free conditions
throughout the study. All participants were free of polyps at study entry
and underwent a colonoscopic evaluation after one year to ensure that no
polyps were missed,and after four years to identify new adenoma
occurrences. All biopsies were reviewed by two pathologists for the
presence of neoplasia.
For the proposed nested case-control study, we will select as cases, all
278 participants who had an adenoma occurrence between the year one and
year four examinations. For comparison, we will randomly choose and equal
number of participants who completed the year four examinations but had
not developed any adenoma. Prediagnostic serum selenium concentrations
(an indicator of dietary selenium) will be determined using instrumental
neutron activation analysis. We will estimated the relative risk of
adenoma occurrence associated with serum selenium concentrations using
stratified and logistic regression analysis. We will further assess the
relation between serum selenium levels and the number, size and location
of adenoma occurrences.
A major advantage of our study design is that patients were followed with
endoscopic examination at prescribed intervals, rather than for symptoms
or based on patient or physician preferences. Therefore, our results will
not be subject to the detection bias which cannot be avoided in most
longitudinal studies. Also, the proposed study can be conducted in
considerable less time and expense than initiating a new study of this
size. Thus, our findings should contribute valuable insights for planning
future intervention studies with chemopreventive and nutritional agents,
and to the understanding of large bowel carcinogenesis and its prevention.
