The association between colorectal sessile serrated adenomas/polyps and subsequent advanced colorectal neoplasia.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening guidelines recommend increased surveillance of individuals with sessile serrated adenomas/polyps (SSA/Ps), but there is uncertainty about the risk associated with SSA/Ps. We aimed to determine the association between SSA/Ps and subsequent advanced colorectal neoplasia. METHODS:This case-control study included Kaiser Permanente Washington (KPWA) members who received an index colonoscopy between 1/1/1998 and 12/31/2007, and had hyperplastic polyps (HPs) or SSA/Ps but no conventional adenomas according to study pathologist histologic review. Subsequent pathology reports and biopsies through 1/1/2013 were reviewed for advanced colorectal neoplasia. We linked to the Seattle-Puget Sound Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) registry to identify additional CRC cases. We used generalized estimating equations with a logit link to estimate adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for advanced colorectal neoplasia, comparing those with SSA/Ps to those with HPs. RESULTS:There were 161 individuals with index SSA/Ps, 548 with HPs, and 918 subsequent endoscopies included in analyses. Of those with index SSA/Ps, 19 had subsequent advanced colorectal neoplasia; 39 with HPs had subsequent advanced colorectal neoplasia. Compared to those with HPs, those with SSA/Ps were not statistically significantly more likely to have subsequent advanced colorectal neoplasia (adjusted OR 1.79; CI 0.98-3.28). Polyp size???10 mm, right colon location, and the presence of multiple serrated polyps were also not associated with advanced colorectal neoplasia. CONCLUSIONS:Our results suggest that there is not a strong association between SSA/Ps and subsequent advanced colorectal neoplasia during the 5 years following SSA/P removal.

Project description:Background & aimsSerrated polyps (SPs) and conventional adenomas are precursor lesions for colorectal cancer (CRC), but they are believed to arise via distinct pathways. We characterized risk factor profiles for SPs and conventional adenomas in a post hoc analysis of data from 3 large prospective studies.MethodsWe collected data from the Nurses' Health Study, the Nurses' Health Study 2, and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study on subjects who developed SPs or conventional adenomas. Our analysis comprised 141,143 participants who had undergone lower gastrointestinal endoscopy, provided updated diet and lifestyle data every 2-4 years, and were followed until diagnosis of a first polyp. We assessed 13 risk factors for CRC in patients with SPs or conventional adenomas and examined the associations according to histopathology features.ResultsWe documented 7945 SPs, 9212 conventional adenomas, and 2382 synchronous SPs and conventional adenomas during 18-20 years of follow-up. Smoking, body mass index, alcohol intake, family history of CRC, and height were associated with higher risk of SPs and conventional adenomas, whereas higher intake of vitamin D and marine omega-3 fatty acid were associated with lower risk. The associations tended to be stronger for synchronous SPs and conventional adenomas. Smoking, body mass index, and alcohol intake were more strongly associated with SPs than conventional adenomas (P for heterogeneity <.05), whereas physical activity and intake of total folate and calcium were inversely associated with conventional adenomas but not SPs. For SPs and conventional adenomas, the associations tended to be stronger for polyps in the distal colon and rectum, of 10 mm or larger or with advanced histology.ConclusionsIn an analysis of data from 3 large prospective studies, we found that although SPs and conventional adenomas share many risk factors, some factors are more strongly associated with one type of lesion than the other. These findings provide support for the etiologic heterogeneity of colorectal neoplasia.

Project description:BackgroundSessile serrated adenomas/polyps are distinguished from hyperplastic colonic polyps subjectively by their endoscopic appearance and histological morphology. However, hyperplastic and sessile serrated polyps can have overlapping morphological features resulting in sessile serrated polyps diagnosed as hyperplastic. While sessile serrated polyps can progress into colon cancer, hyperplastic polyps have virtually no risk for colon cancer. Objective measures, differentiating these types of polyps would improve cancer prevention and treatment outcome.MethodsRNA-seq training data set and Affimetrix, Illumina testing data sets were obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). RNA-seq single-end reads were filtered with FastX toolkit. Read mapping to the human genome, gene abundance estimation, and differential expression analysis were performed with Tophat-Cufflinks pipeline. Background correction, normalization, and probe summarization steps for Affimetrix arrays were performed using the robust multi-array method (RMA). For Illumina arrays, log2-scale expression data was obtained from GEO. Pathway analysis was implemented using Bioconductor package GSAR. To build a platform-independent molecular classifier that accurately differentiates sessile serrated and hyperplastic polyps we developed a new feature selection step. We also developed a simple procedure to classify new samples as either sessile serrated or hyperplastic with a class probability assigned to the decision, estimated using Cantelli's inequality.ResultsThe classifier trained on RNA-seq data and tested on two independent microarray data sets resulted in zero and three errors. The classifier was further tested using quantitative real-time PCR expression levels of 45 blinded independent formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded specimens and was highly accurate. Pathway analyses have shown that sessile serrated polyps are distinguished from hyperplastic polyps and normal controls by: up-regulation of pathways implicated in proliferation, inflammation, cell-cell adhesion and down-regulation of serine threonine kinase signaling pathway; differential co-expression of pathways regulating cell division, protein trafficking and kinase activities.ConclusionsMost of the differentially expressed pathways are known as hallmarks of cancer and likely to explain why sessile serrated polyps are more prone to neoplastic transformation than hyperplastic. The new molecular classifier includes 13 genes and may facilitate objective differentiation between two polyps.

Project description:Background & aimsThe effects of vitamin D on risk of colorectal cancer precursors are not clear. We examined the influence of vitamin D supplementation on risk of colorectal adenomas and serrated polyps in a prespecified ancillary study of a large-scale prevention trial (the vitamin D and omegA-3 trial, VITAL) of individuals who were free of cancer and cardiovascular disease at enrollment.MethodsIn VITAL trial, 25,871 adults with no history of cancer or cardiovascular disease (12,786 men 50 years or older and 13,085 women 55 years or older) were randomly assigned to groups given daily dietary supplements (2000 IU vitamin D3 and 1 g marine n-3 fatty acid) or placebo. Patients were assigned to groups from November 2011 through March 2014 and the study ended on December 31, 2017. We confirmed conventional adenomas and serrated polyps by reviewing histopathology reports from participants who had reported a diagnosis of polyps and were asked by their doctors to return for a repeat colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy in 5 years or less. We calculated the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs by logistic regression, after adjusting for age, sex, n-3 treatment assignment, and history of endoscopy at time of randomization.ResultsDuring a median follow-up of 5.3 years, we documented 308 cases of conventional adenomas in 12,927 participants in the vitamin D group and 287 cases in 12,944 participants in the placebo group (OR for the association of vitamin D supplementation with adenoma, 1.08; 95% CI, 0.92-1.27). There were 172 cases of serrated polyps in the vitamin D group and 169 cases in the placebo group (OR for the association of vitamin D supplementation with serrated polyp, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.82-1.26). Supplementation was not associated with polyp size, location, multiplicity, or histologic features. We found evidence for an interaction between vitamin D supplementation and serum level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, measured in 15,787 participants at randomization. Among individuals with serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D below 30 ng/mL, the OR associated with supplementation for conventional adenoma was 0.82 (95% CI, 0.60-1.13), whereas among individuals with serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D above 30 ng/mL, the OR for conventional adenoma was 1.20 (95% CI, 0.92-1.55) (P for interaction = .07). There was a significant interaction between vitamin D supplementation and serum level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in their association with advanced adenoma (P for interaction = .04).ConclusionsBased on an ancillary study of data from the VITAL trial, daily vitamin D supplementation (2000 IU) was not associated with risk of colorectal cancer precursors in average-risk adults not selected for vitamin D insufficiency. A potential benefit for individuals with low baseline level of vitamin D requires further investigation. ClinicalTrials.gov number: NCT01169259.
