ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | This case-control study of 310 colorectal cancer cases and 1177 controls in a nested prospective, population-based cohort of Singapore Chinese subjects found a statistically significant association between the cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 -765G>C gene polymorphism and colon cancer risk among high consumers of dietary n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (odds ratio = 2.38, 95% confidence interval = 1.23-4.59). © 2004 Cancer Research UK. | Source Title: | British Journal of Cancer | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/113529 | ISSN: | 00070920 |
