Abstract
Colon cancer is a tumor of the large intestine. It is the third most common cause of cancer-related death in the United States. However, most people with colon cancer get better if the cancer is found early. The atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, are strongly associated with atherogenesis of the coronary artery however, studies on its relationship with cancer are limited in the literature. This study aimed to investigate the association of the AIP, TyG index, and Monocyte/HDL-C with colon cancer patients.
Keywords: Cancer, colon, atherogenic index, monocyte-HDL-C ratio
