Researchers at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute found a few cups of coffee a day was associated with longer survival and a lower risk of cancer.
A study published Thursday in the peer-reviewed journal JAMA Oncology found a few cups of coffee a day was associated with longer survival and a lower risk of cancer progression in patients with colorectal cancer, according to researchers at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
“It’s known that several compounds in coffee have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and other properties that may be active against cancer,” says Chen Yuan, study co-author and research fellow at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. “Although it is premature to recommend a high intake of coffee as a potential treatment for colorectal cancer, our study suggests that drinking coffee is not harmful and may potentially be beneficial,” said Dr. Kimmie Ng, study senior author and oncologist at Dana-Farber.
"Coffee was only measured at one point in time," she said"It would be helpful to know if coffee consumption had changed when they were diagnosed and ... to have repeated measures of coffee consumption." "There were a number of studies that looked at the impact of coffee and the development of colorectal cancer," Kopetz said."An analysis of 26 studies recently ... suggested no overall benefit for coffee and risk of colorectal cancer development."
