Risk of Bladder Cancer Cut by Selenium
Dr. Lee Swanson
ate, eight epidemiological studies have examined the association between serum selenium concentration and bladder cancer risk.”
Belgian researchers “carried out a population case-control study in 178 cases and 362 controls to observe the relationship between bladder cancer risk and selenium serum concentrations.” They found that “serum selenium levels were negatively associated with bladder cancer risk,” and the more selenium people were taking in from diet or supplements, the lower the risk of cancer. Researchers reported that every 10 mcg/L increase in serum selenium concentration was associated with a “significant decreased bladder cancer risk.”
