Abstract:INTRODUCTION:
An increased standardized incidence ratio of colorectal cancer (CRC) with longer follow-up intervals after bariatric surgery has been suggested in a large retrospective Swedish cohort study. By impacting epigenetic modifications versus de novo chromosomal mutations, the complex physiologic changes following bariatric surgery may preferentially modulate CRC risk via the sessile serrated adenomas (SSAs) pathway or conventional adenoma-carcinoma sequence, respectively. Our aim was to exa… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
