Plasma metabolomic profiles for colorectal cancer precursors in women.

ABSTRACT: How metabolome changes influence the early process of colorectal cancer (CRC) development remains unknown. We conducted a 1:2 matched nested case-control study to examine the associations of pre-diagnostic plasma metabolome (profiled using LC-MS) with risk of CRC precursors, including conventional adenomas (n = 586 vs. 1141) and serrated polyps (n = 509 vs. 993), in the Nurses' Health Study (NHS) and NHSII. Conditional logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). We used the permutation-based Westfall and Young approach to account for multiple testing. Subgroup analyses were performed for advanced conventional adenomas (defined as at least one adenoma of ≥ 10 mm or with high-grade dysplasia, or tubulovillous or villous histology) and high-ris
