Folate: a magic bullet or a double edged sword for colorectal cancer prevention?
Y-I Kim. Gut. 2006 Oct.
Abstract
Low folate status might inhibit colorectal carcinogenesis and high folate status may promote colorectal carcinogenesis, contradicting findings from epidemiological studies showing an inverse relationship between folate status and risk of colorectal cancer
Conflict of interest statement
Conflict of interest: None declared.
