Cross sectional study of serum selenium concentration and esophageal squamous dysplasia in western Kenya

Abstract Background Low serum selenium status has been associated with increased risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). East Africa is a region of high ESCC incidence and is known to have low soil selenium levels, but this association has not previously been evaluated. In this study we a...
