Abstract
The evidence provided by epidemiologic studies and observations in human populations as well as the more controlled studies in animals point to some effects of vitamins C and E, and of selenium, on cancer. The nature of this relationship is not clear at present, but ongoing epidemiologic and experimental work should help to clarify these interrelationships.Keywords
