Selenium Intake May Worsen Prostate Cancer In Some, Study Reports

Published on Saturday, 27 June 2009 23:00 from ScienceDaily

Higher selenium levels in the blood may worsen prostate cancer in some men who already have the disease. A higher risk of more-aggressive prostate cancer was seen in men with a certain genetic variant. In those subjects, having a high level of selenium in the blood was associated with a two-fold greater risk of poorer outcomes than men with the lowest amounts of selenium.
