  1. CRP and Colon Cancer Risk of colon cancer (RR) n=22 887 11 yr study C-Reactive Protein Level JAMA Feb 4, 2004

  2. Researcher’s Conclusion This study demonstrates that elevated concentrations of CRP are strongly associated with the development of colon cancer. JAMA Feb 4, 2004

  3. The CRP risk standards for colon cancer are the same as for coronary heart disease. CRP Levels (mg/L) Low risk < 1.0 Moderate risk 1.0-3.0 High risk 3.1+ CRP Risk Standards JAMA Feb 4, 2004

  4. CRP Levels Can be Reduced by … • Losing excess body weight • Regular aerobic physical activity • Stopping smoking if a smoker • Regular aspirin use • aspirin use is linked to a lower risk of colon cancer in several studies • Possibly vitamin C use
