Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with increased colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence
risk and mortality. Vitamin D mediates its action through the binding of the vitamin D receptor …

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most commonly occurring neoplasias in humans. The
prevalence of CRC rates is still rising. Although the exact background of the disease still …

Purpose Increased levels of vitamin D may protect against colorectal cancer (CRC)
development and recurrence. Accumulating epidemiologic evidence suggests these effects …

Background The vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene is present in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells
and its genetic variants have been associated with an increased risk of CRC. The …

Objective: In this study, we investigated the association of two vitamin D receptor (VDR)
polymorphisms BsmI and TaqI with colon cancer in a Caucasian population. Methods: The …

Vitamin D appears to have anti-tumor activities in the large bowel. Our aim was to
investigate whether− 4817 G> A (rs2238136) polymorphism located at 5′-untranslated …

AIM: To investigate the relationship between polymorphisms present in the vitamin D
receptor (VDR) gene and colorectal cancer risk, a systematic meta-analysis of population …

Background. Many epidemiological studies have shown that vitamin D deficiency is
associated with various types of human cancers. The biological action of vitamin D and its …

The protective effect of vitamin D against several cancers including colorectal cancer is
modulated by the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and its ligand, the active form of vitamin D. VDR …

Background: Recent studies have reported an association between vitamin D receptor
(VDR) polymorphisms and colorectal cancer (CRC) risk; however, the results are …
