Prediagnostic plasma vitamin B6 (pyridoxal 5′-phosphate) and survival in patients with colorectal cancer

摘要

PurposeHigher plasma pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP) levels are associated with a decreased incidence of colorectal cancer, but the influence of plasma PLP on survival of patients with colorectal cancer is unknown. We prospectively examined whether prediagnostic plasma PLP levels are associated with mortality among colorectal cancer patients.
