Many Americans take vitamins in the hopes of preventing chronic diseases such as cancer, and vitamins E and C are among the most common individual supplements. A large-scale randomized trial suggested that vitamin E may reduce risk of prostate cancer; however, few trials have been powered to address this relationship. No previous trial in men at usual risk has examined vitamin C alone in the prevention of cancer. To evaluate whether long-term vitamin E or C supplementation decreases risk of prostate and total cancer events among men. The Physicians’ Health Study II is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled factorial trial of vitamins E and C that began in 1997 and continued until its scheduled completion on August 31, 2007. A total of 14,641 male physicians in the U.S. initially aged ≥50 years, including 1,307 men with a history of prior cancer at randomization, were enrolled. Individual supplements of 400 IU of vitamin E every other day and 500 mg vitamin C daily. Prostate and total cancer. During a mean follow-up of 8.0 years, there were 1,008 confirmed incident cases of prostate cancer and 1,943 total cancers. Compared with placebo, vitamin E had no effect on the incidence of prostate cancer (active and placebo vitamin E groups, 9.1 and 9.5 events per 1,000 person-years; hazard ratio [HR], 0.97; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.85–1.09; P=0.58) or total cancer (active and placebo vitamin E groups, 17.8 and 17.3 cases per 1,000 person-years; HR, 1.04; 95% CI, 0.95–1.13; P=0.41). There was also no significant effect of vitamin C on total cancer (active and placebo vitamin C groups, 17.6 and 17.5 events per 1,000 person-years; HR, 1.01; 95% CI, 0.92–1.10; P=0.86), or prostate cancer (active and placebo vitamin C groups, 9.4 and 9.2 cases per 1,000 person-years; HR, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.90–1.15; P=0.80). Neither vitamin E nor vitamin C had a significant effect on colorectal, lung, or other site-specific cancers. Adjustment for compliance and exclusion of the first four or six years of follow-up did not alter the results. Stratification by various cancer risk factors demonstrated no significant modification of the effect of vitamin E on prostate cancer risk or either agent on total cancer risk. In this large long-term trial of male physicians, neither vitamin E nor C supplementation reduced the risk of prostate or total cancer. These data provide no support for the use of these supplements for the prevention of cancer in middle-aged and older men. http://www.clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT00270647
