A nested case-control study was conducted to assess the relation between serum levels of selenium and retinol and the subsequent risk of cancer. During the years 1972-1984, in northwest Washington State, 156 cases of cancer were identified among members of two employee cohorts from whom specimens had been previously obtained and stored. Two hundred eighty-seven controls were selected from these cohorts and matched to cases on the basis of employer, age, sex, race, and date of blood draw. Selenium and retinol levels were measured by neutron activation and high pressure liquid chromatography, respectively. Information on known cancer risk factors was collected by telephone interviews of subjects and next of kin. Levels of selenium and retinol were unassociated with the incidence of cancer of all sites combined, both overall and within subgroups defined by age, sex, levels of the other micronutrient, time between blood draw and diagnosis, smoking status, and family history of cancer. These findings suggest that neither serum levels of selenium nor those of retinol have an appreciable effect on the risk of cancer.
