Calcium and Colorectal Epithelial Cell Proliferation in Sporadic Adenoma Patients: a Randomized, Double- Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial

Abstract

These results support further study of whether alterations in colon cell proliferative kinetics represent true intermediate steps in colon carcinogenesis that can be used to investigate the etiology and prevention of, and whether a higher calcium consumption can reduce the risk of, colon cancer.
