Selenium and cancer: a story that should not be forgotten-insights from genomics.

Cancer treatment and research - 1 Jan 2014

Méplan Catherine, Hesketh John

Abstract excerpt

Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient that is incorporated into selenoproteins. Although epidemiological studies suggest that low Se intake is associated with increased risk of various cancers, the results of supplementation trials have been confusing. These conflicting results may be due to different baseline Se status and/or genetic factors. In addition, mechanistic links between Se intake, selenoproteins...
