IMPORTANT STUDY INFORMATION!
[October 2008]

The SELECT Data and Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC) met in September 2008 to review the data to date. Thanks to each and every participant, enough data were available to make a decision about the effectiveness of the Study Supplements. The data showed that 200 mcg of selenium and 400 IUs daily of vitamin E do not prevent prostate cancer. Investigators from the study leadership and the National Cancer Institute agreed with the DSMC’s findings. Participants in SELECT should stop taking their Study Supplements.
