The effect of beta‐carotene supplementation on cancer incidence has been investigated in several randomized controlled trials. The objective was to review the effect of beta‐carotene supplementation on cancer incidence in randomized trials by cancer site, beta‐carotene supplementation characteristics and study population. Relevant trials were retrieved by searching PubMed (up to April 2009). Authors involved in selected studies were contacted for additional information. Thirteen publications…

Carotenoids and breast cancer risk: a meta-analysis and meta-regression
TLDR
Significant dose–response relationships were observed in both the higher intake of dietary and total β-carotene with reduced breast cancer risk when data from cohort studies were pooled, respectively.
Effects of Vitamin and Antioxidant Supplements in Prevention of Bladder Cancer: a Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
TLDR
The current meta-analysis found that vitamin and antioxidant supplements have no preventive effect against bladder cancer.
Vitamin E Supplementation and Mortality in Healthy People: A Meta-Analysis of Randomised Controlled Trials
TLDR
The evidence from pooled analysis of 18 randomised controlled trials undertaken in apparently healthy people shows no effect of vitamin E supplementation at a dose of 23–800 IU/day on all-cause mortality.
Vitamin intake and pancreatic cancer risk reduction
TLDR
This meta-analysis found that vitamin intake can decrease the risk of PC, particularly vitamin D and vitamin B12, and different increments of vitamin intake were examined with dose–response analysis.
Vitamin A Intake and Risk of Melanoma: A Meta-Analysis
TLDR
Findings from this meta-analysis suggest that intake of retinol, rather than of total vitamin A or beta-carotene, is significantly associated with reduced risk of melanoma.

TLDR
Eliminating tobacco smoking is the best strategy to prevent lung cancer and the current evidence from prospective studies is consistent with a protective role of fruit and vegetables in lung cancer aetiology.
Is There an Association between β-Carotene and Breast Cancer? A Systematic Review on Breast Cancer Risk.
TLDR
The evidence from the included studies confirms that there is an association between β-carotenoids and breast cancer risk; the dietary intake of β- carotenoid may be beneficial in reducing the risk of developing breast cancer.
Effect of Carotene and Lycopene on the Risk of Prostate Cancer: A Systematic Review and Dose-Response Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies
Background Many epidemiologic studies have investigated the association between carotenoids intake and risk of Prostate cancer (PCa). However, results have been inconclusive. Methods We conducted a…
Carotenoid intake from natural sources and colorectal cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis of epidemiological studies
TLDR
Overall, the findings do not support a significant association between intake of specific carotenoids from dietary sources, as well as combined carOTenoids, and the risk of CRC overall and by anatomic subsite.
Drugs for preventing lung cancer in healthy people.
TLDR
Whether vitamins and minerals and other potential agents, alone or in combination, reduce lung cancer incidence and lung cancer mortality in healthy populations and in smokers or asbestos workers is investigated.

Effects of beta-carotene supplementation on cancer incidence by baseline characteristics in the Physicians' Health Study (United States)
TLDR
The PHS found no overall effect of beta-carotene on total cancer, or the three most common site-specific cancers, and the possibility of risk reduction within specific subgroups remains.
A randomized, 12-year primary-prevention trial of beta carotene supplementation for nonmelanoma skin cancer in the physician's health study.
TLDR
This large-scale, randomized, primary prevention trial among apparently healthy well-nourished men indicates that an average of 12 years of supplementation with beta carotene does not affect the development of a first NMSC, including BCC and SCC.
Drugs for preventing lung cancer in healthy people.
TLDR
There is currently no evidence to support recommending vitamins such as alpha-tocopherol, beta-carotene or retinol, alone or in combination, to prevent lung cancer.
Antioxidant vitamin and mineral supplementation and prostate cancer prevention in the SU.VI.MAX trial
TLDR
The hypothesis that chemoprevention of prostate cancer can be achieved with nutritional doses of antioxidant vitamins and minerals is supported.
Antioxidant supplements for preventing gastrointestinal cancers.
TLDR
Evidence is found that antioxidant supplements prevent gastrointestinal cancers but they seem to increase overall mortality and the potential cancer preventive effect of selenium should be studied in adequately conducted randomised trials.

TLDR
Dietary supplementation of humans with β‐carotene provides protection against sunburn in a time‐dependent manner.
