Sažetak
Introduction: Dyslipidaemia contributes to the occurrence of colorectal cancer (CRC). We hypothesized that qualitative changes of lipoproteins are
associated with the risk for CRC development. This study analyses low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) diameters, as
well as distribution of LDL and HDL subclasses in patients with CRC, with an aim to determine whether advanced lipid testing might be useful in
predicting the risk for the onset of this malignancy.
Materials and methods: This case-control study included 84 patients with newly diagnosed CRC and 92 controls. Gradient gel electrophoresis
was applied for separation of lipoprotein subclasses and for LDL and HDL diameters determination. Lipid parameters were measured using routine
enzymatic methods.
Results: Total cholesterol, HDL and LDL-cholesterol were significantly lower in CRC patients compared to controls (4.47 mmol/L vs. 5.63 mmol/L;
0.99 mmol/L vs. 1.27 mmol/L; 2.90 mmol/L vs. 3.66 mmol/L; P < 0.001, respectively). Patients had significantly smaller LDL (25.14 nm vs. 26.92 nm;
P < 0.001) and HDL diameters (8.76 nm vs. 10.17 nm; P < 0.001) and greater proportion of small, dense LDL particles (54.0% vs. 52.9%; P = 0.044)
than controls. Decreased LDL and HDL diameters were independent predictors of CRC (OR = 0.5, P = 0.001 and OR = 0.5, P = 0.008, respectively),
and alongside with age and HDL-cholesterol concentrations formed the optimal cost-effective model, providing adequate discriminative abilities for
CRC (AUC = 0.89) and correct patients classification (81%).
Conclusions: Patients with CRC have decreased LDL and HDL diameters and increased proportion of smaller particles. LDL and HDL diameters determination
could be useful in assessing the risk for CRC development.
