The focus should be on defining the physiological significance of diet in modulating inflammatory processes that may be linked to colon cancer development. The use of animal models that have been genetically engineered to influence inflammatory phenotypes in the intestine may be particularly useful for gaining insights into the targets and potential dietary intervention strategies for colon cancer prevention. A variety of genomic, proteomic, and metabolomic technologies may be used.
