TL;DR: Results from secondary end-point analyses support the hypothesis that supplemental selenium may reduce the incidence of, and mortality from, carcinomas of several sites and require confirmation in an independent trial of appropriate design before new public health recommendations regarding seenium supplementation can be made.

TL;DR: Although selenium shows no protective effects against the primary endpoint of squamous and basal cell carcinomas of the skin, the selenum-treated group had substantial reductions in the incidence of prostate cancer, and total cancer incidence and mortality that demand further evaluation in well-controlled prevention trials.

TL;DR: Understanding the relationships among marital status, social support, mood and mortality could open the way to rational strategies for postponing death in men with prostate cancer.

TL;DR: Although each endoscopic lithotripter has advantages as well as disadvantages, in this ex vivo model, it was clear that the HoL and EHL can easily perforate the ureter and must be used with vigilance.

TL;DR: Although single and widowed patients had the poorest prognosis in general, single patients appeared to show the most consistently poor survival across the different types of cancers, raising the possibility that some characteristics associated with being married delay death from cancer.
