Does selenium supplementation reduce cancer incidence and cardiovascular events at a high dose and at a dose achievable by dietary enrichment?
“The number of people dying from cancer in Europe are equivalent to two jumbo jets crashing. Could selenium help us get that down to one? If the PRECISE study is not undertaken, we might be missing out on a fantastic chance to prevent cancer. We can’t afford not to find out." Kim Overvad, PRECISE Principal Investigator, Research Director, MD, Ph.D., Department of Clinical Epidemiology, Aalborg Hospital, Aarhus University Hospital, Aalborg, Denmark
“We have done the preliminary work, the pilot studies, and we have a model. This project is now ready to fly. The PRECISE study could represent one of the most significant steps forward in the war against cancer in the last decades. However, we need support to help make this vision reality.” Hans Olov Adami, National Principal Investigator for Sweden, Professor, Chairman, MD, PhD, Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden
