Zinc and prostatic cancer

13 Oct 2009

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To summarize the recent findings related to the functions of zinc in prostate cancer prevention. RECENT FINDINGS: The prostate contains the highest concentration of zinc of all the soft tissues, but concentrations decrease significantly during prostate cancer. A growing body of experimental evidence supports the notion that high zinc levels are essential for prostate health and may limit...
