简要总结

RATIONALE: Chemoprevention is the use of certain substances to keep cancer from forming. The use of folic acid may prevent colorectal cancer.

PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well folic acid works compared with a placebo in preventing colorectal polyps in patients who have had previous colorectal polyps.

详细描述

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine if folic acid supplementation lowers the adenoma recurrence rate.

Secondary

  • Determine the number of adenomas per patient and the size and histology of the adenoma.
  • Assess the interaction between folic acid and alcohol, methionine, and aspirin intake.
  • Assess the interaction between folic acid and pretrial and midtrial folate levels.
  • Assess other complementary biomarkers such as DNA methylation and blood folate level as risk factors for polyp recurrence.
