Larry C. Clark,Gerald F. Combs,Bruce W. Turnbull,Elizabeth H. Slate,Dan K. Chalker,James Chow,Loretta S. Davis,Renee A. Glover,Gloria F. Graham,Earl G. Gross,Arnon Krongrad,Jack L. Lesher,H. Kim Park,Beverly B. Sanders,Cameron L. Smith,J. Richard Taylor +15 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selenium in global food systems.
TL;DR: Low Se status is likely to contribute to morbidity and mortality due to infectious as well as chronic diseases, and increasing Se intakes in all parts of the world can be expected to reduce cancer rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemopreventive agents: selenium.
Gerald F. Combs,William P. Gray +1 more
TL;DR: According to this two-stage model of the roles of Se in cancer prevention, individuals with nutritionally adequate Se intakes may benefit from Se supplementation and the development of the potential of Se compounds as cancer chemopreventive agents is facilitated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decreased incidence of prostate cancer with selenium supplementation: results of a double-blind cancer prevention trial.
Larry C. Clark,Bruce L. Dalkin,Arnon Krongrad,Gerald F. Combs,Bruce W. Turnbull,Elizabeth H. Slate,Roy Witherington,J. H. Herlong,E. Janosko,D. Carpenter,C. Borosso,S. Falk,J. Rounder +12 more
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.
