研究:喝咖啡对结肠癌有抑制作用

Dr. Charles S. Fuchs, the director of the Gastrointestinal Cancer Center at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, who led the research, acknowledged the limitations of his study and called for interventional studies to replicate and confirm the findings.

该研究的负责人，波士顿市丹娜法伯癌症研究院胃肠道癌症中心的查尔斯·S·富克斯博士承认自己的研究存在局限性，并呼吁进行干预性研究以重现和证实这些结果。

"No one has ever done this before in colon cancer patients. It does require confirmation," he said. Patients should not start drinking coffee based on this study, but, "If you're a coffee drinker and enjoy your coffee, stick with it," he said. "If a patient says, 'Well I hate coffee,' I'd say there are other things you can do, like avoid obesity, exercise regularly and follow a balanced diet."

他说："此前尚无人在结肠癌患者中进行过这样的研究。它确实需要经过确认。"富克斯博士还说，患者不宜因为这项研究就开始饮用咖啡，但是，"如果你本身就喝咖啡而且喜欢喝，不妨保持下去。"如果有患者说：'我讨厌咖啡'，那我就会回答：还有很多其它的事情可以做，比方说避免肥胖、经常锻炼、均衡饮食等等。"

The study, published Monday in The Journal of Clinical Oncology, followed 953 patients with Stage 3 colon cancer who had been treated with surgery and chemotherapy.
