There has been a lot in the news this week about prostate cancer screening and prevention. This new information is important to understand as prostate cancer affects one in six men in the US. Dr. Brandon Hayes-Lattin, LIVESTRONG?s Senior Medical Advisor, addressed the newest prostate cancer screening recommendations earlier this week and in today?s blog he discusses the newest study about Vitamin E and prostate cancer.
The The Selenium and Vitamin E Cancer Prevention Trial was an extensive 7 year study of over 35,000 men that shows vitamin E, formally thought to decrease the risk of prostate cancer, does not cut risk but actually may increase your odds of getting the disease. Please watch the video and let us know what questions you have regarding the newest study.
