Scientific research on nutrition and natural approaches and resources in cancer. Studieabstracten study and analysis.
Here we list articles and studies or research on cancer in relation to nutrition. With some additional comments other as we found on the Internet. We will complement these articles regularly, but that takes time and we want very carefully. We have tried to research and articles in logical and more or less alphabetical order. Often an article in the name of nutrient - vitamin etc. But sometimes in diets or diet in cancer or cancer type out the first named, including bladder cancer and vitamins in the BA. So take the name of one nutrient or use search to start because of various cancers are also often important studies and articles that are not all in this list.
If there are people who can give us tips like please send us remarkable investigations and we post on the site. (See also reading list ( This list compiled by physician-biologist Erik Valstar has exceeded 1500 and are all randomized trials) and cancer rates ). In addition, a recommendation to information on proven effects of diet and nutritional supplementation in cancer of the book: Nutritional intervention in cancer, a signal to the conventional oncology. Because physician-biologist Dr Engelbert Valstar. The book costs 16.95 and the ISBN number is 90 5860 192 7.
Overall: based personal guidance and care to depressed elderly reduce mortality by 60% 5-year basis compared with standard care for depressed elderly. Especially for older people with cancer appears persoonljke attention to achieve this large difference. Article updated February 20, 2011
February 20, 2011: I got this message from another message in place and have brought it forward because it is such a very remarkable study.

Targeted personal support and care for depressed elderly reduce mortality at 5-year basis with 60% against the standard of care that depressed elderly usually offered. It is noteworthy that almost all depressed elderly with cancer in this study appear to achieve this difference. It seems, at least that the researchers say that because older people have someone to talk to it again cause for life. They do make the remark that in older adults with depression and cancer of the baseline ever could have been misinterpreted. The researchers therefore call for new studies. Incidentally, this study was a randomized trial among over 1200 elderly people aged 65 to 78 years. A relatively large-scale study that is nevertheless a particularly significant difference shows.
The effect of a primary care practice-based depression intervention on mortality in older adults: a randomized trial.Gallo JJ, Bogner HR, Morales KH, Post EP, Lin JY, Bruce ML. Department of Family Medicine and Community Health, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104, USA. galloj@uphs.upenn.edu BACKGROUND: Few studies have Tested the effects of a depression intervention on the risk for death associated with depression.
OBJECTIVE: To test whethere an Intervention to Improve Depression Care can-modify the risk for death.
DESIGN: Practice-based, randomized, controlled trial. SETTING: 20 primary care practices in New York, New York, and Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
, Br> Patient: 1226 Randomly sampled patiënten Identified through a two-stage, age-stratified (60 to 74 years and> or = 75 years) depression screening.
INTERVENTION: Depression care manager working with primary care physicians to providence algorithm-based care.
MEASUREMENT: Depression status based on clinical interview and vital status at 5 years by Using the National Death Index.
RESULTS: At baseline, 396 patiënten with criteria for major depression and 203 patients with criteria for Clinically significant minor depression. After a median follow-up of 52.8 months, 223 patients died. Patients with depression in intervention practices Were Less Likely Than Those to have died in usual care practices (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.67 [95% CI, 0.44 to 1.00]). Reduced Risk for death was in patient with major depression (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.55 [CI, 0.36 to 0.84]) but not in Patients with Clinically significant minor depression (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.97 [CI, 0.49 to 1.92]). The benefit seemed to be "almost entirely attributable to a reduction in deaths due to cancer.
LIMITATIONS: The mechanism for an effect on deaths due to cancer is Unclear. Depression status, cause of death, and vital status Might Have Been misclassified.
CONCLUSIONS: Older primary care patients with major depression in depression care management practices Implemented That Were Less Likely to die over a 5-year period Than Were Patients with major depression in usual care practices. The effect seemed to be limited to deaths due to cancer. The mechanism for Such an effect is Unclear and warrants further investigation. ClinicalTrials.gov registration number: NCT00000367.
