　　Ginseng Shows Benefit in Cancer Treatment

　　1. Flaxseed slowed the growth of prostate tumors in men, while ginseng helped relieve the fatigue that cancer patients often feel, US researchers reported on Saturday in two of the first scientifically rigorous looks at alternative medicine1.

　　2. The studies reflect doctors’ efforts to explore the risks and benefits of foods and supplements that are routinely taken by their patients with little scientific proof they help. 2 Americans spend between $ 36 billion and $47 billion a year on complementary and alternative therapies, according to the National Center for Health Statistics3. “Patients are taking these compounds but we need to know if they are doing any good or any harmt4” said Dr. Bruce Cheson of Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, who led a panel on alternative therapies at a meeting of the American Society of Clinica Oncology5.

　　3. In the flaxseed study, researchers at Duke University Medical Center in North Carolina and colleagues evaluated the seed’s role as a food supplement in 161 men who were scheduled to undergo surgery for prostate cancer. “The growth rate was decreased in the men who got flaxseed,”said Dr. Nancy Davidson, an oncologist at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore who is president-elect of ASCO. “I think this is fascinating.” Flaxseed is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and lignins, a fiber found on the seed coat. “We were looking at flaxseed because of its unique nutrient profile,” said Wendy Demark-Wahnefried, a researcher in Duke’s School of Nursing, who led the study.

　　4. Half of the men in the study added 30 grams of flaxseed daily to their diets for about 30 days. Half of the flaxseed group also went on a low-fat diet. After the surgery, the researchers looked at the men’s tumor cells to see how quickly the cancer had multiplied. The cancer ceils in both the flaxseed groups grew about 30 to 40 percent slower than the control group6.

　　5. But Demark-Wahnefried is not ready to prescribe flaxseed. “It’s a healthy food. It has a lot of vitamins and a lot of fiber. But we can not definitively say at this point you should take flaxseed because it is protective against prostate cancer,” she said, adding that flaxseed now needed to be studied to see if it can prevent prostate cancer.

　　6. In the ginseng trial, Debra Barton of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, and colleagues tested three different doses of the herb on patients with a variety of cancers who were expected to live at least six months. Twenty-five percent of patients taking a 1,000-rug dose and twenty-seven percent of patients taking a 2,000-mg dose said their fatigue symptoms were “moderately better” or “much better.” Only 10 percent of those taking a 750-mg dose reported an improvement, which was about the same as the placebo group. Patients in the trial took Wisconsin ginseng from a single crop that was tested for uniform potency. It was powdered and given in a capsule form. “I wouldn’t have predicted this, I have to admit,” Davidson said in an interview. “We might want to test this on a large scale7.”

　　7. The flaxseed study was funded by the National Institutes of Health and the ginseng study was supported by US Public Health Service grants.

　　譯文：人參有利于癌癥治療

　　美國研究人員在星期六發(fā)表了兩份最重要的、嚴(yán)格的對替代藥物的科學(xué) 觀察報告。報告指出：亞麻籽可以減緩男性前列腺腫瘤的生長，而人參則能緩解癌癥患者常見的疲勞狀態(tài)。

　　這些研究反映了醫(yī)生想要努力去探究病人平時所食用的食物和添加劑有些什么利弊，然而醫(yī)生們要想幫助他們卻拿不出多少科學(xué)根據(jù)。根據(jù)全國衛(wèi)生統(tǒng)計中心的數(shù)據(jù)，美國人一年在補充治療和替代療法上的花費大約是360億到470億美元。在一次由美國臨床腫瘤學(xué)會舉辦的會議上，來自華盛頓的喬治城大學(xué)附屬醫(yī)院的Bruce Cheson博士(他領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的小組研究替代療法)說：“患者們正在服用這些復(fù)合物，但是我們要弄清這些療法的利弊。”

　　在對亞麻籽的研究中，來自北卡羅來納州杜克大學(xué)醫(yī)療中心的研究人員和他們的同行，評估了亞麻籽作為食品添加劑對將要動前列腺手術(shù)的病人的影響。來自位于巴爾的摩的約翰?霍普金斯大學(xué)的腫瘤學(xué)家，美國臨床腫瘤學(xué)會主席Nancy Davidson說：“那些服用亞麻籽的病人病情減輕了，我覺得這很棒。”亞麻籽富含w-3脂肪酸，種皮含有木質(zhì)素。在杜克大學(xué)護(hù)理學(xué)院主持這項研究的Wendy Demark Wwahnefried說：“我們研究亞麻籽是因為它獨特的營養(yǎng)價值。”

　　在研究過程中，一般男性研究對象在大約30天的日常飲食中每天增加了30可的亞麻籽。這些人中有一半人還采用了低脂的日常飲食。在手術(shù)之后，研究人員檢測他們的腫瘤細(xì)胞以確定癌細(xì)胞擴(kuò)散的速度。兩組服用亞麻籽的小組和對照組相比，他們癌細(xì)胞的擴(kuò)散放緩了30%~40%。

　　但是Wendy Demark Wwahnefried并沒有準(zhǔn)備把亞麻籽當(dāng)作處方開給 病人 。她說：“這是健康食品。它含有多種維生素和纖維。但是我們不能斷言病人這個階段服用亞麻籽能抗前列腺癌?！彼a充說，亞麻籽能不能預(yù)防前列腺癌還有待研究。

　　在人參的試驗中，來自位于明尼蘇達(dá)羅切斯特市梅育醫(yī)學(xué)院的Debra Barton和她的同事對預(yù)期能存活至少6個月的不同癌癥患者試用了3種不同劑量的藥草。服用1000毫克劑量的病人中，25%的人的疲勞癥狀有“中度改善”，而服用2000毫克的病人中，27%的人的疲勞癥狀有“大大改善”。服用750毫克的病人中，只用10%的人疲勞癥狀有所改善，這樣的結(jié)構(gòu)和服用安慰劑治療的病人一樣。參加試驗的病人采用的是產(chǎn)自威斯康星州的同一茬西洋參，這樣做是為了符合試驗的統(tǒng)一有效性。西洋參要先被磨成粉，然后做成膠囊發(fā)放給病人。Bruce Cheson在一次采訪中說：“我得承認(rèn)，我沒有預(yù)測到會有這樣的結(jié)果。我們可能會再進(jìn)行大規(guī)模的試用?！?/P>

　　國立衛(wèi)生研究院資助了亞麻籽的研究，而人參的研究則是由美國公關(guān)衛(wèi)生署撥款支持的。
