  • Dietary intake of phytoestrogens, estrogen receptor-beta polymorphisms and the risk of prostate cancer.

    Hedelin M, Bälter KA, Chang ET, Bellocco R, Klint A, Johansson JE, Wiklund F, Thellenberg-Karlsson C, Adami HO, Grönberg H. Prostate. 2006; 66 (14): 1512-20

    The causes of prostate cancer are poorly understood, but genetic factors may be more important than for many other malignancies, and dietary phytoestrogens may be protective. Because phytoestrogens bind tightly to the estrogen receptor-beta, we conducted an epidemiologic investigation of synergistic effects between phytoestrogen intake and estrogen receptor-beta gene polymorphisms.
