Abstract | BACKGROUND & AIMS: METHODS: In a hospital-based case-control study, we explored the associations of plasma IGF-1, sTNFR-2, and IL-8 levels with CRC risk in 697 cases and 1845 controls. Unconditional logistic regression was performed to estimate the odds ratios ( ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for CRC with the inflammatory biomarkers adjusted for confounders. RESULTS: CRC patients had significantly higher levels of sTNFR-2 and IL-8 than the controls (P < 0.001). In multivariate models, the levels of IGF-1, sTNFR-2, and IL-8 were significantly associated with CRC risk after adjusting for confounders (IGF-1 OR (95% CI) = 1.39 (1.02-1.89), P for trend = 0.018; sTNFR-2 = 2.14 (1.59-2.90), P for trend < 0.001; IL-8 = 1.95 (1.43-2.66), P for trend < 0.001, highest vs. lowest quartiles). The biomarkers showed either positive or negative trends when modifiable lifestyle factors were stratified. In particular, the inverse associations of CRC risk with the biomarkers were significant among subjects who engaged in regular physical activity and had an anti-inflammatory diet pattern. CONCLUSIONS: Elevated levels of inflammatory biomarkers were associated with CRC risk and could be modified by risk and protective lifestyle factors. Our findings may provide a strategy to identify CRC risk based on the associations between inflammatory biomarkers and lifestyle factors.
