Fatty fish consumption and risk of prostate cancer.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Consumption of fatty fish might reduce the risk of prostate cancer, although epidemiological studies of fish consumption are rare. We studied the association between fish consumption and prostate cancer in a population-based prospective cohort of 6272 Swedish men. During 30 years of follow-up, men who ate no fish had a two-fold to three-fold higher frequency of prostate cancer than those who ate moderate or high amounts did. Our results suggest that fish consumption could be associated with decreased risk of prostate cancer.

Short Communication A Prospective Study of Intake of Fish and Marine Fatty Acids and Prostate Cancer
Experimental studies suggest that marine fatty acids have an antitumor effect on prostate tumor cells. The aim of this study was to investigate whether high consumption of fish and marine fatty acids reduces the risk of prostate cancer in humans. We followed 47,882 men participating in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study. Dietary intake was assessed in 1986, 1990, and 1994, using a validat...

Within the Danish 'Diet, Cancer and Health' cohort, we aimed to investigate the association between prediagnostic fish intake (total, lean, fatty) and (a) incidence of total and high-grade prostate cancer and (b) the risk of all-cause and prostate cancer-specific mortality among men with prostate cancer. Among 27 178 men, 1690 prostate cancer cases were identified through 2012. Of these, 1042 h...

The recent article in the Journal by Fernandez et al (1), pointing out that fish consumption reduces the risk of several types of cancer, is an important work that opens the door to increased prevention of such cancers. Chronic inflammation is one of the risk factors for cancer (2). The results of a recent study suggest that nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs may prevent colon cancer by suppre...
متن کاملPolymorphisms in carcinogen metabolism enzymes, fish intake, and risk of prostate cancer.
Cooking fish at high temperature can produce potent carcinogens such as heterocyclic amines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The effects of these carcinogens may undergo modification by the enzymes responsible for their detoxification and/or activation. In this study, we investigated genetic polymorphisms in nine carcinogen metabolism enzymes and their modifying effects on the association ...
