Abstract
Lectins have been proven to have anti-cancer properties; earlier, some plant lectins were effectively employed as antitumor agents/antineoplastic medications against several cancer types. This research aimed to determine the precise association between dietary lectin consumption and colon cancer in adult patients. The overall study size was 200 persons, split into two groups: case (66 adult CRC patients) and control (134-person adults). Patients were randomly chosen from the outpatient clinic at Menoufia University Teaching Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, Menoufia University, Shibin El Kom, Egypt. While the control group were obtained from free living persons in menoufia governorate.
Forms were utilized to gather demographic information, health history, lifestyle, anthropometric indices, nutritional factors, and a quantitative food frequency questionnaire. According to the findings, most study participants (54.5% and 53.7%, respectively) are men. Most patients (57.6%) have a secondary certificate, whereas most control group (37.3%) have a university qualification. Furthermore, most patients (78.8%) are unemployed, while most control groups (39.6%) are government workers. Most of the investigated participants (74.2% and 79.1%, respectively) had a family size of 4 to 6 members. Most study individuals (95.5% and 96.5%, respectively) are married. Most cases (74.2%) reside in rural areas, whereas most control groups (61.2%) dwell in urban areas. The quantity of lectin consumption by grams was greater in controls than in cases. 71.6% take 5g to 7g, and 23% take 3 to 5 g, which is consistent with the 30% of instances where the effective dosage of lectin was unknown. People who consume less than 5 grams of lectin have a 9.9 times the risk of colon-rectal cancer than those who consume more than 5 grams of lectin. In conclusion, lectin consumption at various dosages shows a solid significant link between cancer cases and controls, indicating the relationship between lectin and cancer but with specific grams.
