We have been examining interactions of diet (nutrition), medication use, lifestyle variables, and tumor molecular, microbial, and immune characteristics in relation to incidence and mortality of colorectal carcinoma. Therefore, this “nutritional MPE” has close links to “pharmaco-MPE”, “microbial MPE” and “immuno-MPE”.

Some notable publications:

L Li et al. (Gastroenterology, online) have shown that inflammatory diets are associated with high risk of colorectal cancer that contains lower levels of intratumor periglandular (stromal) lymphocytes. This study also used the approach of “immuno-MPE“.

M Song et al. (JAMA Oncology 2016) have shown that marine omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid intake is associated with lower risk of colorectal cancer that contains abundant FOXP3+ Treg cells. This study also used the approach of “immuno-MPE”. ​
