Study population. Of the 90 colorectal cancer patients, carcinoma tissue was collected and, if present, also normal colon mucosa tissue (n=79) and synchronous or metachronous adenoma tissue (n=62). The tissue collected from 106 non-cancerous patients consisted of histologically normal biopsy material (n=51) from patients that underwent endoscopy and did not develop adenomas or colorectal cancer, adenoma biopsy specimens (n=22) from patients who did not develop colorectal cancer within 10 years, and resected colon mucosa from patients with various inflammatory bowel conditions (n=33) who did not develop adenomas or colorectal cancer. CRC = colorectal cancer; NLCS = Netherlands Cohort Study on Diet and Cancer.
