Dietary fat and risk of colon and rectal cancer with aberrant MLH1 expression, APC or KRAS genes.

For colon tumors without MLH1 expression, the RR according to the quartiles of linoleic acid intake were increased, though not significantly, for all the categories of intake above the reference (lowest quartile of intake), i.e., 1.66 (95% CI 0.69–3.98), 2.14 (95% CI 0.91–5.00) and 2.02 (95% CI 0.86–4.76) for the second through the fourth quartiles respectively, and the test for linear trend was borderline significant ( p = 0.08).
