Cruciferous vegetables in relation to renal cell carcinoma

Cruciferous Vegetables Intake Is Associated with Lower Risk of Renal Cell Carcinoma: Evidence from a Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies

BACKGROUND Epidemiologic studies have evaluated the association between cruciferous vegetables(CV) intake and the risk of renal cell carcinoma(RCC); however, the existing results are controversial. The aim of this meta-analysis was to investigate the association between CV intake and RCC risk. METHODS A literature search was carried out using PUBMED and EMBASE database between January 1966 an...

Tobacco use in relation to renal cell carcinoma.

The modest effect of cigarette smoking on renal cell carcinoma (RCC) requires a study with a large number of subjects to definitively answer the question of whether smoking is causally related to RCC. A population-based case-control study was conducted in Los Angeles, California that involved 1204 RCC patients and an equal number of neighborhood controls who were matched to the index cases by s...

Prognostic value of p53 in renal cell carcinoma

Background and Objectives: RCC is one of the most common genitourinary cancers. Accurate prediction of prognosis would be valuable for adjuvant trial design, counseling and effectively scheduling follow up visits. P53 is a tumor suppressor gene that expresses a protein that involved in both cell-cycle ar...

Glucosinolates from Cruciferous Vegetables for Cancer Chemoprevention

Prevention and/or protection against chemical carcinogens by phytochemicals present in extensively consumed glucosinolate-containing cruciferous vegetables is of great of interest, as they provide a safe and cost effective means of combating cancer. Extensive epidemiological studies revealed repeatedly an inverse relationship between cruciferous vegetable consumption and the incidence of cancer...
