High blood levels of alpha-tocopherol or gamma-tocopherol, (vitamin E forms), cut risk of prostate cancer 50% in new analysis of ATBC trial, supporting original conclusions. Dietary, but not supplementary, vitamin E, is key.
Dietary gamma-tocopherol was associated with a 32% reduction in the risk of advanced prostate cancer, according to a National Cancer Institute researcher (Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers & Prevention journal).
"High intake of food items rich in phytoestrogens (flaxseed, sunflower seeds, berries, peanuts, beans and soy) was associated with a monotonically decreasing overall risk [26%] of prostate cancer."
The plant lignan secoisolariciresinol diglycoside (SDG) from flaxseed may be antitumorigenic due to its estrogenic and antiestrogenic effects, anti-oxidative effects, antiproliferative and anti-aromatase effects. Review of studies showing anticarcinogenic
Diverse nonhematopoietic biological effects of the cytokine erythropoietin shows that it promotes angiogenesis. Recombinant human erythropoietin therapy in prostate cancer will be studied...
Prostate tumors grew about 30% to 40% slower in the men taking flaxseed whether or not they followed a low-fat diet, Duke researchers told colleagues (June 1-5, Amer Soc Clinical Oncology).
Flaxseed, an edible seed that is rich in omega 3-fatty acids and fiber-related compounds known as lignans, is effective in halting prostate tumor growth, according to a study led by Duke University researchers.
"Some prostate cancers grow so slowly that they never become life-threatening, especially in elderly men who may die of other causes before the cancer causes problems," explained Wong. "But other men develop complications and die from their cancer making
