Vitamin and mineral supplements are among the most commonly used drugs in the U.S. Neither chemoprevention trials nor observational studies have established the benefits or risks of supplemental use. The aim of this proposal is to investigate the association of intake of supplemental vitamin C, vitamin E, calcium and multivitamins with total cancer incidence. To meet this aim, a cohort will be recruited within the 13 counties of western Washington State, and followed for a mean of 2 1/4 years. A mailing will be sent to 300,000 men and women age 50-74 using names obtained from a commercial mailing list, which will include a recruitment letter targeting supplemental users and a questionnaire. The recruitment procedures have been tested, and should yield 35,000 male respondents and 40,000 female respondents with 75% of respondents having used at least one dietary supplement in the prior 10 years. The questionnaire solicits detailed information on supplement use over the last 10 years, and information on covariates that may be associated with supplement use and with future risk of cancer (e.g., medical history, cancer risk factors, cancer screening, reasons for supplement use). The questionnaire also incorporates a food frequency questionnaire, with additional items on supplemented foods. A second mailing to respondents 2-4 months later will supply a tape measure for anthropometric measures and brushes for collection of DNA from cheek cells. Studies to quantify the relative validity of our primary exposure measures will be conducted. Endpoint information will be efficiently and accurately collected by linking participant identifiers to the system Washington SEER cancer registry and the Washington State death tapes. Out-migration from the attachment areas of these files will be monitored by linkage to the National Change of Address tape. Longer term follow-up of this cohort will allow the investigation of the association of supplements with specific cancers (lung, prostate, breast and large bowel) and with total mortality, and will allow investigation of gene-supplement interactions. If supplements are harmful or of no use, this information would be important for the large number of Americans taking supplements. If a beneficial effect is found, it could be translated into highly cost effective cancer control measures.

维生素和矿物质补充剂是美国最常用的药物之一，无论是化学预防试验还是观察性研究都没有确定补充使用的益处或风险。本提案的目的是调查补充维生素C、维生素E、钙和多种维生素的摄入量与癌症总发病率的关系。为了达到这一目标，将在西部华盛顿州的13个县招募一个队列，并平均随访2 1/4年。将使用从商业邮件列表中获得的姓名向30万名50-74岁的男女发送邮件，其中将包括一封针对补充用户的招聘信和一份问卷。对招募程序进行了测试，结果将有35，000名男性受访者和40，000名女性受访者，其中75%的受访者在过去10年中至少使用过一种膳食补充剂。该问卷征求了过去10年补充剂使用的详细信息，以及可能与补充剂使用和未来癌症风险相关的协变量信息（例如，病史、癌症风险因素、癌症筛查、使用补充剂的原因）。调查表还包括一份食物频率调查表，并增加了关于补充食物的项目。第二次邮寄给受访者2-4个月后将提供一个卷尺的人体测量和刷子收集DNA从脸颊细胞。将进行研究，以量化我们的主要接触措施的相对有效性。将通过将受试者标识符与系统华盛顿SEER癌症登记处和华盛顿州死亡录像带相关联，有效、准确地收集终点信息。这些文件附件区的向外迁移将通过与国家地址变更磁带的连接进行监测。该队列的长期随访将允许调查补充剂与特定癌症（肺癌，前列腺癌，乳腺癌和大肠癌）和总死亡率的关联，并允许调查基因-补充剂相互作用。如果补充剂是有害的或没有用的，这一信息将是重要的大量美国人服用补充剂。如果发现有益的效果，它可以转化为高度成本效益的癌症控制措施。
