Circulating Vitamin D and Colorectal Cancer Risk: An International Pooling Project of 17 Cohorts

Abstract

Higher circulating 25(OH)D was related to a statistically significant, substantially lower colorectal cancer risk in women and non-statistically significant lower risk in men. Optimal 25(OH)D concentrations for colorectal cancer risk reduction, 75-100 nmol/L, appear higher than current IOM recommendations.
