【 摘 要 】

Most colorectal cancers (CRC) assumedly develop from precursor lesions, i.e., colorectal adenomas (adenoma-carcinoma sequence). Epidemiological and clinical data supporting this hypothesis are limited. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to estimate relative dynamics of colorectal adenoma-carcinoma sequence for groups of screenees stratified by BMI (body mass index) based on prevalence data from Polish Colonoscopy Screening Program (PCSP). We performed a cross-sectional analysis of database records of individuals who entered the national opportunistic colonoscopy screening program for CRC in Poland. We calculated prevalence of adenomas and CRCs adjusted for sex, 5-year age group, family history of CRC, smoking, diabetes and use of aspirin, hormonal therapy and proton-pump inhibitors use. Thereafter we calculated estimated transition rate (eTR) with confidence intervals (CIs) defined as adjusted prevalence of more advanced lesion divided by adjusted prevalence of less advanced lesion. All analyzes were stratified according to the BMI categories: normal (BMI 18.0 to <25.0), overweight (BMI 25.0 to <30.0) and obese (BMI ≥ 30.0). Results are reported in the same respective order. After exclusions we performed analyses on 147,385 individuals. We found that prevalence of non-advanced adenomas is increasing with BMI category (12.19%, 13.81%, 14.70%, respectively; p < 0.001). Prevalence of advanced adenomas was increasing with BMI category (5.20%, 5.77%, 6.61%, respectively; p < 0.001). Early CRCs prevalence was the highest for obese individuals (0.55%) and the lowest for overweight individuals (0.44%) with borderline significance (p = 0.055). For advanced CRC we found that prevalence seems to be inversely related to BMI category, however no statistically significant differences were observed (0.35%, 0.31%, 0.28%; p = 0.274). eTR for non-advanced adenoma to advanced adenoma is higher for obese individuals than for overweight individuals with bordering CIs (42.65% vs. 41.81% vs. 44.95%) eTR for advanced adenoma to early CRC is highest for normal individuals, however CIs are overlapping with remaining BMI categories (9.02% vs. 7.67% vs. 8.39%). eTR for early CRC to advanced CRC is lower for obese individuals in comparison to both normal and overweight individuals with marginally overlapping CIs (73.73% vs. 69.90% vs. 50.54%). Obese individuals are more likely to develop adenomas, advanced adenomas and early CRC but less likely to progress to advanced CRC. Therefore, this study provides new evidence that obesity paradox exists for colorectal cancer.
