Journal Article · · Am. J. Epidemiol.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6514595
Animal experiments and ecologic studies suggest that low dietary selenium intake is associated with an increased risk of some types of cancer. However, studies assessing the relation of indicators of selenium intake in subjects to site-specific cancer incidence are few. This paper reports the results of a case-control study of erythrocyte selenium in relation to breast carcinoma in premenopausal women. 1 figure, 1 table.
