  • Title: Se-methylselenocysteine: a new compound for chemoprevention of breast cancer.
    Author: Medina D, Thompson H, Ganther H, Ip C.
    Journal: Nutr Cancer; 2001; 40(1):12-7. PubMed ID: 11799917.
    Abstract:
    Selenium compounds have attracted renewed interest as chemopreventive agents for human cancer on the basis of the pioneering intervention study by Clark and co-workers. The rodent mammary gland has been used extensively as a model for examining the chemopreventive activities of inorganic and organic selenium compounds. This review summarizes the rationale and results for use of a new organic selenium compound, Se-methylselenocysteine, which exhibits greater efficacy as a chemopreventive agent than several previously used selenium compounds in experimental models of breast cancer and has potential for use in human populations.
