Abstract
Background/Aims: In recent years, with improvements in genotyping, a possible relationship between obesity-related gene polymorphisms and colorectal cancer (CRC) has been studied. The promoter region C-420G of the resistin gene is believed to have an important role in the development of malignancy. We prospectively evaluated the possible effect of the resistin C-420G polymorphism on the risk and prognosis of CRC.
