A High Nut Consumption May Be Associated With a Reduced Incidence of Cancer Recurrence

People with stage III colon cancer who consumed nuts regularly were at significantly lower risk of cancer recurrence and mortality than those who did not eat nuts, according to a new study recently published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

In total, 826 patients with stage III colon cancer were included in the study. Patients reported dietary intake on food frequency questionnaires while enrolled onto a randomized adjuvant chemotherapy trial. After a follow-up of 6.5 years, patients who consumed two or more servings of nuts per week were compared with patients who abstained from nuts. Results showed that those who regularly consumed at least two one-ounce servings of nuts each week showed a 42% improvement in disease-free survival and a 57% improvement in overall survival.

In conclusion, diets with higher nut consumption may be associated with a significantly reduced incidence of cancer recurrence and death in patients with stage III of colon cancer.

The study was supported by the INC-NREF.
