Description
Huijie Wang and seven co-authors link a liver enzyme in the blood to advanced colorectal adenoma, in work from 2024. These advanced polyps are the direct precursors of bowel cancer, and a cheap blood flag would aid screening. Records of 3,534 inpatients, 525 of them cases, were analysed with regression and curve fitting after adjusting for confounders.
Each twenty-unit rise in the enzyme gamma-glutamyl transferase came with about six percent higher odds of an advanced adenoma. People above the high threshold carried about sixty percent higher odds than those below it. The pattern held across subgroups. The authors suggest the common liver test could earn a place in polyp risk screening.
