[ 6 ] Selenium and Vitamin E were chosen because they are well known antioxidants and had other mechanisms by which they were thought to prevent cancer, and preclinical and smaller clinical ...
Scientists believe statins, cheap cholesterol-lowering medications, could be used for cancer prevention. Statins have anti-inflammatory effects, which could be used to target cancers linked to ...
“We also aim to extend our work to encompass the array of chronic inflammatory diseases that render patients prone to cancer (e.g., ulcerative colitis and hepatitis) to help prevent cancer in ...
