Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Selenium may prevent colorectal cancer. However, several previous studies are small and few investigated the association between selenium and colorectal cancer among women whose selenium metabolism may differ from men. Furthermore, genetic variants in selenoenzymes may be associated with colorectal cancer risk. METHODS: This nested case-control study investigated whether serum selenium concentration...
