Soy
phytochemicals decrease nonsmall cell lung cancer growth in female athymic mice
- J Nutr. 2008 Jul;138(7):1360-4 - "soy phytochemicals
slow the in vivo growth of NSCLC xenografts; the modulation of the Akt-signaling
pathway observed in tumors of SSE-treated mice may have a role in the activity
observed. Our research provides further support for the concept that consumption
of phytoestrogens may be effective in delaying lung cancer progression"

Dietary
alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta-tocopherols in lung cancer risk - Int J
Cancer. 2008 Jun 10 - "When we entered the other
tocopherols in our model, only the association with dietary alpha-tocopherol
intake remained significant; i.e., increasing intake of dietary alpha-tocopherol
accounted for 34-53% reductions in lung cancer risk"

Dietary
flavonoid intake and risk of cancer in postmenopausal women: The Iowa Women's
Health Study - Int J Cancer. 2008 May 19 - "After
multivariable adjustment, lung cancer incidence was inversely associated with
intakes of flavanones (HR = 0.68; 95% CI: 0.53-0.86, all results highest vs.
lowest quintile) and proanthocyanidins (HR = 0.75; 95% CI: 0.57-0.97). Among
current and past smokers, those with intakes in the highest quintile for
flavanones (HR = 0.66; 95% CI: 0.50-0.86), and proanthocyanidins (HR = 0.66; 95%
CI; 0.49-0.89) had significantly lower lung cancer incidence than those in the
lowest quintile. Similar associations were not seen in never smokers. Isoflavone
intake was inversely associated with overall cancer incidence (HR = 0.93, 95%
CI: 0.86-1.00). This study provides further support for a beneficial effect of
flavonoid intake on lung cancer risk, especially among current and past smokers" -

- Vitamin E in Food May Fight Cancer - WebMD, 12/15/04 -
"Most supplements provide a different form of the vitamin, alpha-tocopherol ... Gamma-tocopherol aced its lab tests. It
inhibited the spread of prostate and lung cancer cells without hurting the healthy cells ... Mixing several forms of vitamin E -- including gamma-tocopherol -- was even better at blocking cancer's spread" - See

- Selenium Reduces Risk of Some Cancers: FDA Approves Claim - New Hope Natural Media, 4/17/03 -
"Companies that manufacture selenium supplements will now
be permitted by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to claim that selenium supplements may reduce the risk of some cancers, according to a statement by the FDA. Although the FDA does not permit manufacturers to list specific types of cancer in the health claim, studies suggest selenium
supplementation may reduce the risk of colon, prostate, lung, liver and esophageal cancers" - See

- NSAIDs May Reduce Lung Cancer Risk - Medscape, 3/18/03 -
"using NSAIDs at least three times weekly for at least one year decreased risk of lung
carcinoma by 32%, regardless of histology ... Aspirin had similar smoking-specific risk estimates to those for all NSAIDs, but the association of reduced lung cancer risk was found only in men and not in women ... Although it is unclear why the protective effect of NSAIDs was limited to
smokers, the authors suggest that smoking might induce cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 expression. Cigarette tar extracts increase COX activity in rat lung cells, and COX-2 activity is higher in lung cancer tissue of smokers than in nonsmokers" - [WebMD] -

- Plant Compound May Prevent Lung Cancer - WebMD, 2/19/03 -
"deguelin is found in several different types of plant species and is part of a class of compounds in the
flavonoid family ... deguelin appeared to target the cancerous and precancerous cells, stopping their growth, while having minimal effects on the normal, healthy cells ... deguelin is highly specific and seems to work by zeroing in on a particular molecular pathway associated with lung
cancer ... the findings are especially interesting because there have been so few agents that have shown potential to stop the progression of lung cancer"

smokers"

- "smoking a single joint is the same as smoking 20
cigarettes in terms of lung cancer risk ... cannabis smoke contains higher
levels of carcinogens than cigarette smoke ... cannabis smokers are more
likely to inhale more smoke deeply and hold it in their lungs longer,
allowing for more carcinogens to be deposited in the lungs. Marijuana
cigarettes do not usually have proper filters and are smoked to the tip,
which also increases the amount of smoke inhaled ... smoking 1 joint daily
for 10 years or 2 joints daily for 5 years increased the risk of lung cancer
5.7 times"
