Answer is D. ( ref: Archer review)
Beta carotene has been shown to increase the risk of lung cancer among smokers. People who took dietary supplements of the nutrient beta-carotene while enrolled in a large cancer prevention trial continued to have increased rates of lung cancer even six years after the trial was stopped early and the supplements discontinued. Contrary to earlier expectations, not only do beta-carotene supplements not prevent lung cancer in people at high risk for the lung cancer, they appear to increase rates of the lung cancer, particularly among smokers. A is incorrect. Screening will not reduce the lung cancer risk. Annual screening with CT Scan of the chest has not yet been shown to reduce the mortality of the lung cancer. NIH is currently is conducting a large study that should conclusively answer if either spiral CT or chest X-ray can reduce lung cancer deaths. B is incorrect. There is no conclusive association between Vitamin E and Lung Cancer. Smokers given vitamin E supplementation during a six-year clinical trial showed no reduction in their lung cancer risk. C. Selenium has not been shown to increase the lung cancer risk nor has it been proved to protect against lung cancer. E. Though Vitamin D has been shown to prolong survival in lung cancer patients in some small trials, there is no evidence that it prevents lung cancer. |
