Selenium in the prevention and subsidiary therapy of cancer of soft tissues
Abstract:
Selenium as an antioxidant has attracted attention because of its anticancer activity. This review presents a view on selenium and its compounds exerting influence against cancer in the soft tissues. The results reveal a significant strong association between a low selenium level in blood and a cancer risk. Seleno-supplementation is important in the prevention of metastatic cancer. These results help to elucidate the anticancer effect of selenium providing further evidence to exploit novel anticancer agents targeting selenium-containing organic compounds. Key words: selenium • cancer prevention • cancer treatment • soft tissues.
