Nutrition and cancer: a review, with emphasis on the role of vitamins C and E and selenium

P M Newberne et al. Nutr Cancer. 1983.

Abstract

The evidence provided by epidemiologic studies and observations in human populations as well as the more controlled studies in animals point to some effects of vitamins C and E, and of selenium, on cancer. The nature of this relationship is not clear at present, but ongoing epidemiologic and experimental work should help to clarify these interrelationships.
