Altered expression or function of manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) has been shown to be associated with cancer risk but assessment of gene polymorphisms has resulted in inconclusive data. Here a search of published data was made and 22 studies were recruited, covering 20,025 case and control subjects, for metaanalyses of the association of MnSOD polymorphisms with the risk of prostate, esophageal, and lung cancers. The data on 12 studies of prostate cancer (including 4,182 cases and 6,885 controls) showed a statistically significant association with the risk of development in co-dominant models and dominant models, but not in the recessive model. Subgroup analysis showed there was no statistically significant association of MnSOD polymorphisms with aggressive or nonaggressive prostate cancer in different genetic models. In addition, the data on four studies of esophageal cancer containing 620 cases and 909 controls showed a statistically significant association between MnSOD polymorphisms and risk in all comparison models. In contrast, the data on six studies of lung cancer with 3,375 cases and 4,050 controls showed that MnSOD polymorphisms were significantly associated with the decreased risk of lung cancer in the homozygote and dominant models, but not the heterozygote model. A subgroup analysis of the combination of MnSOD polymorphisms with tobacco smokers did not show any significant association with lung cancer risk, histological type, or clinical stage of lung cancer. The data from the current study indicated that the Ala allele MnSOD polymorphism is associated with increased risk of prostate and esophageal cancers, but with decreased risk of lung cancer. The underlying molecular mechanisms warrant further investigation.

“…2 The Expert Patients Programme course was modelled on the Chronic Disease SelfManagement Program, developed at Stanford University, 3 which was based on four conditions (arthritis, heart disease, lung disease, or stroke). 3,4 Further trials of the course have recruited patients with a self-defined long-term condition, 5 adapted the generic programme to specific cultures, [6][7][8][9][10] and tested condition-specific adaptations. [11][12][13] A recently completed randomised controlled trial of the Expert Patients Programme showed it was effective in improving subjective measures of health, including a medium effect on self-efficacy (confidence in managing the effects of long-term conditions; effect size = 0.4), and small effects on energy (effect size = 0.2) and health-related quality of life (providing the equivalent of one extra week of perfect health per year).…”
