Consumption of at least 2 ounces (60 g) of peanuts each week can significantly reduce the likelihood of recurrence of bowel cancer, according to the Internet edition for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. net Nuts increase the survival rate for colon cancer of stage III more than 2 times!.
The promising results of the new study will be presented at the annual meeting of the American Society for Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2017, which will be held in Chicago next month.
According to the statistics of the American Cancer Society, about 95,000 new cases of colon cancer are diagnosed annually in the United States. For patients with stage III disease, when the tumor reaches adjacent tissues and lymph nodes, the 5-year survival rate ranges between 53 and 89%.
Cashew nuts, hazelnuts, walnuts, almonds and pecans are all very valuable and potentially useful products. A number of studies have confirmed their multifaceted health benefits.
For example, in 2014, scientists established a link between regular use of tree nuts and a reduction in the incidence of obesity. Other scientists talk about the benefits of nuts for the cardiovascular system.
Nuts - a must for cancer.
The last project was organized by Dr. Temidayo Fadelu and his colleagues from the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, Massachusetts. Oncologists decided to see how the use of tree nuts affects patients undergoing chemotherapy and being in remission.
An analysis of 826 patients with colon cancer of Stage III. All patients participated in the Cancer and Leukemia Group B project, all of whom successfully completed the course of chemotherapy. Patients completed questionnaires that indicated the characteristics of their diet.
Dr. Fadelu divided the participants into groups according to the weekly intake of nuts, and then tried to find a connection with their state of health.
Consumption of 60 grams of nuts per week reduced the likelihood of recurrence of the disease by 42%, and mortality - by 57% compared to those who did not eat nuts. However, further analysis showed that only tree nuts are useful.
Peanuts and peanut butter did not affect the course of bowel cancer.
Based on these results, Dr. Fadelu and his colleagues propose to recommend tree nuts as an indispensable component of the diet for cancer.
"We must understand that the authors do not call on patients to avoid standard treatment, replacing it with nuts. The only point is that the only product can significantly improve survival, and we need to take advantage of this, "- said in a statement by David Hayes (David Hayes), president of ASCO.
In future research, Boston oncologists plan to identify the possibilities of tree nuts in other cancers, as well as the last - metastatic stage of colon cancer.
"In the end, we must unravel the secret of the protective effect of the hazelnuts. A randomized controlled clinical trial is to be conducted to determine the optimal dose of nuts, "Fadelu added..
Recall that according to a number of international studies, tree nuts prevent the breakdown of carbohydrate metabolism, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, atherosclerosis; improve memory and concentration.
