Urological cancers, namely prostate, bladder, kidney, testicular, and penile cancers, are common conditions that constitute almost one-quarter of all malignant diseases in men. Urological cancers tend to affect older individuals, and their development is influenced by modifiable metabolic, behavioral, and environmental risk factors. Phytochemicals may have cancer-fighting properties and protect against cancer development, slow its spread, and reduce the risk of cancer deaths in humans. This paper aims to review the current literature in regard to the effects of carotenoids in reducing urological cancer risk.
泌尿系统癌症，即前列腺癌、膀胱癌、肾癌、睾丸癌和阴茎癌，是常见的疾病，占男性所有恶性疾病的近四分之一。泌尿系统癌症往往影响老年人，其发展受可改变的代谢、行为和环境风险因素影响。植物化学物质可能具有抗癌特性，可预防癌症的发生、减缓其扩散，并降低人类癌症死亡的风险。本文旨在综述目前关于类胡萝卜素降低泌尿系统癌症风险的相关文献。
