Coffee caffeine consumption is associated with an ameliorated risk of basal cell carcinoma of the skin, the Queensland Institute of Medical Research study suggested.
Coffee, becoming a popular and social beverage all over the world, particularly in the West, is a drink made from roast beans from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.
Basal cell cancer is the most common type of skin cancer characterized by abnormal growth of the cells in the lowest layer of the epidermis. Cancer rarely spreads and kills but can cause significant destruction and disfigurement to the affected skin area and accounts for more than 90% of all skin cancer in the U.S.
In the study among 1,325 randomly selected adult residents of a subtropical Australian community collected in 1992, 1994, and 1996, returned food frequency questionnaires from participants showed a significantly lower relative risk in people with prior skin cancers by 25% with daily consumption of four cups of regular coffee.
For people without previous history of skin disease, consumption of neither caffeinated nor decaffeinated coffee regardless of amount intake expressed no risk of basal cell carcinoma of the skin.
Dr. Miura K, the lead author said, " Among people with prior skin cancers, a relatively high caffeine intake may help prevent subsequent BCC development. However, caffeine intake appears not to influence the risk of SCC."
Also, in the evaluation of the effects of tea, coffee, and caffeine related to early-onset BCC from data of 767 non-Hispanic Whites under age 40 in Connecticut. BCC cases (n=377) identified through Yale's Dermatopathology database and controls (n=390) of individuals in the same database, participants interviews revealed combined regular consumption of caffeinated coffee plus hot tea expressed a strong inverse association of early-onset BCC.
According to the analysis, the risk of BCC was reduced by as much as 43% in this group compared to the nondrinking group.
Researchers at the study also indicated that the efficacy in reducing the risk of basal cell carcinoma of the skin from these 2 beverages may be attributed to the chemical component of caffeine.
Promisingly. in the support of caffeine administration in preventing squamous cell skin cancer development, the Nurses' Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study, postulated the following results.
1. Caffeine intake from all dietary sources was inversely associated with BCC risk even for people who only consumed less than 1 cup of caffeinated coffee per month.
2. Women who consumed more than 3 cups/d had a relatively odd risk ratio of 0.79, compared to 0.90 in men with the same cup intake.
3. Decaffeinated coffee consumption showed no association with decreased BCC risk.
The evidence expressed that coffee and coffee caffeine consumption has a significant effect in reducing the risk of basal cell carcinoma of the skin, particularly in people with previous skin cancer.
