One study showed a 40 percent reduction in new
colon cancer cases in populations who took selenium supplements.
The authors note that this is an important finding in light of the increased number of late
stage colon cancer cases currently being diagnosed.
In 2013, there were 33.5
colon cancer cases per 100,000 African - Americans, compared with 26.8 per 100,000 whites.
«Specifically, we were interested in «sessile serrated polyps», which have only recently been recognized as important colon cancer precursors that give rise to 20 - 30 percent of
sporadic colon cancer cases.
In 3, 5, or 10 years, we are going to see a sharp rise in
colon cancer cases.
