About

Experimental studies have shown the chemopreventive properties of green tea extract (GTE) on colorectal cancer. And colorectal adenomas are precursors to colorectal cancers. The aim of this study is to determine the preventive effect of GTE supplements on metachronous colorectal adenomas by giving GTE tablets of which are equivalent of 9 cup-of-green tea per day (0.9 g/day GTE, 0.6 g/day Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG).

Full description

The subjects who had undergone complete removal of colorectal adenomas by endoscopic polypectomy have been enrolled since June 2010. They were then randomized into two groups as follows: supplementation group (0.9 g GTE per day for 12 months) or control group without GTE supplementation. Follow-up colonoscopy was conducted in 12 months. A structured 72-h recall at baseline and the 1-year follow-up was used to assess dietary factors, and to evaluate rectal mucosal proliferation index (RMPI) using known proliferation markers (Ki-67/PCNA), at least 2 random biopsies of rectal mucosa were taken. A sample size of 176 patients (88 per each group) was calculated to give the study 80% power to detect a difference, assuming a two-sided significance test at the 0.05 level.
