    Critical review: effect of lycopene supplementation on inflammatory markers in patients with prostate cancer
    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-02-11) Allcca Alfaro, Beltrán; Bohórquez Medina, Andrea Lisbet
    Prostate cancer is a condition that affects men, with high mortality rates worldwide. Lycopene consumption, a carotenoid, could be beneficial in preventing cellular damage and, therefore, reducing the risk of prostate cancer. The purpose of this secondary study was to critically analyze the impact of lycopene supplementation on inflammatory markers (PCR, IL) in prostate cancer patients, to determine its effect on reducing mortality. The Evidence-Based Nutrition (NuBE) methodology was used. After researching in PUBMED, SCIENCE DIRECT, and COCHRANE, 49 articles were found, of which 10 were reviewed using the critical reading tool Caspe, resulting in the selection of a multiethnic cohort article. It was concluded that lycopene consumption is related to the reduction of inflammatory factors and, therefore, mortality, which can be achieved through the intake of lycopene supplements or foods that contain it. Further research on lycopene and its anti-inflammatory effects on biomarkers is needed.
