Calcium/Vitamin D, Biomarkers & Colon Polyp Prevention

Study:

Calcium/Vitamin D, Biomarkers & Colon Polyp Prevention

Rationale:

n/a

Purpose:

We have developed a set of biomarkers of risk for colon cancer, and in this study we will test 1) whether or not calcium and/or vitamin D supplementation can favorably affect these biomarkers in persons who are at higher than average risk for colon cancer (ie, have already undergone the removal of colon growths, called adenomatous polyps, which are known to be precursors to developing colon cancer), and 2) whether effects on the biomarkers predict who will get new colon polyps or not.
