Background: There is an urgent need to identify biomarkers for advanced adenoma, an important precursor of colorectal cancer (CRC). We aimed to determine alterations in ileal juice bile acids associated with colorectal advanced adenoma.
Methods: We quantified a comprehensive panel of primary and secondary bile acids and their conjugates using an ultraperformance liquid chromatography triple-quadrupole mass spectrometric assay in ileal juice collected at colonoscopy from 46 study subjects (i.
Association between Sleep Duration and Colorectal Adenomas: Findings from a Case-Control Study in Vietnam.

Background: Colorectal cancer is one of the leading cancers worldwide and in Vietnam. Adenomas are important precursors of colorectal cancer. Study on the association between sleep duration and development of colorectal adenoma (CRA) is limited, particularly among Vietnamese population.

- Colorectal cancer is a significant health issue globally and in Vietnam, with existing screening efforts lacking in the country.
- A study conducted in Hanoi engaged residents aged 40 and older in a screening program using immunochemical-fecal occult blood testing followed by colonoscopy for positive results, reporting an 11.9% participation rate.
- The findings indicated that the two-step screening approach is effective, revealing a notable rate of advanced adenomas and cancer, suggesting it could be a viable screening strategy in resource-limited settings like Vietnam.
Colorectal cancer is a leading cancer worldwide and in Vietnam. Adenomas (adenomatous polyps) is an important precursor of colorectal cancer. There is currently no study to determine the modifiable risk factors for colorectal adenomas, including body mass index (BMI) in Vietnam.
