The most prevalent type of cancer among males is prostate cancer. Survival is considered quite good, but it can be further improved when risk factors are optimized. One of these factors is micronutrients, including Se and Zn. To our knowledge, the interaction between Se and Zn and prostate cancer remains undescribed. This study aimed to investigate the optimal levels of selenium (Se) and zinc (Zn) and their impact on the survival of individuals diagnosed with prostate cancer. A total of 338 prostate cancer patients were enrolled in this study, which was conducted in Poland between 2009 and 2015. Mass spectrometry, which uses inductively coupled plasma mass, was used to assess serum element levels before treatment. The study participants were categorized into quartiles (QI-QIV) based on the distributions of Se and Zn levels observed among surviving participants. Cox regression was used to assess the association between serum Se and Zn levels and the survival of prostate cancer patients. Our results reveal the effect of combined Se and Zn levels on survival in prostate cancer patients (SeQI-ZnQI vs. SeQIV-ZnQIV; HR = 20.9). These results need further research to establish Se/Zn norms for different populations.
男性最常见的癌症类型是前列腺癌。生存情况被认为相当不错,但如果能优化风险因素,还可以进一步提高。这些因素之一是微量营养素,包括硒和锌。据我们所知,硒和锌与前列腺癌之间的相互作用仍未被描述。本研究旨在探讨最佳硒(Se)和锌(Zn)水平及其对前列腺癌患者生存的影响。共有 338 名前列腺癌患者参与了这项在波兰进行的研究,时间为 2009 年至 2015 年。在治疗前,使用电感耦合等离子体质谱法来评估血清元素水平。根据存活参与者中观察到的硒和锌水平分布,将研究参与者分为四分位数(QI-QIV)。Cox 回归用于评估血清 Se 和 Zn 水平与前列腺癌患者生存之间的关系。我们的结果揭示了联合 Se 和 Zn 水平对前列腺癌患者生存的影响(SeQI-ZnQI 与 SeQIV-ZnQIV;HR = 20.9)。这些结果需要进一步的研究来为不同人群建立 Se/Zn 规范。
