TL;DR: Selenium or vitamin E, alone or in combination at the doses and formulations used, did not prevent prostate cancer in this population of relatively healthy men.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that vitamin and mineral supplementation of the diet of Linxian adults, particularly with the combination of beta carotene, vitamin E, and selenium, may effect a reduction in cancer risk in this population.

TL;DR: The proportion of major coronary events in men with a previous myocardial infarction who smoke was not decreased with either α-tocopherol or β-carotene supplements, but the risk of fatal coronary heart disease increased in the groups that received either β- carotene or the combination of α-ocopherol and β-Carotene; there was a non-significant trend of increased deaths in the α-ococopherol group.

TL;DR: In an analysis of 31,717 cancer cases and 26,136 cancer-free controls from 13 genome-wide association studies, this paper observed large chromosomal abnormalities in a subset of clones in DNA obtained from blood or buccal samples.

TL;DR: A genome-wide association study of gastric cancer and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in ethnic Chinese subjects in which 551,152 SNPs were genotyped could provide insight into the high incidence of both cancers in China.
