An inverse correlation between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and cancer risk has been shown by several epidemiological studies. Some studies have even suggested that HDL-C can be used as a prognostic marker in patients with certain types of cancer. However, whether reduced HDL-C level is a consequential or causal factor in the development and progression of cancer remains a controversial issue. In this review, we update and summarize recent advances that highlight the role of HDL and some of its components in prognosis, diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
多项流行病学研究表明,高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL-C)与癌症风险呈负相关。一些研究甚至表明,HDL-C 可以作为某些类型癌症患者的预后标志物。然而,HDL-C 水平降低是否是癌症发展和进展的因果因素,仍是一个有争议的问题。在这篇综述中,我们更新并总结了最近的进展,强调了 HDL 及其某些成分在癌症预后、诊断和治疗中的作用。
