Dietary Patterns Linked to Colorectal Cancer in Women

Women who eat more red meat, fish and sugar-sweetened beverages but less whole grains, coffee and high-fat dairy have increased levels of C-peptide in the blood, which is associated with a higher risk of colorectal cancer, according to a study presented at 10th AACR International Conference on Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research.

C-peptide is a measure of insulin secretion in the blood. Researchers think high levels may promote cell growth, including growth of cancer cells.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
