据外媒报道，《临床肿瘤学》杂志刊登一项最新研究显示，大肠癌患者每天喝4杯或4杯以上的咖啡，可预防大肠癌术后复发，甚至有助提升痊愈的几率。
据报道，这项研究总共针对大约1000名病患进行调查，这些病人全曾因为结肠癌第三期进行手术和化疗。
波士顿达纳法博癌症中心（Dana-Farber Cancer Center）研究人员发现，每天饮用4杯或4杯以上咖啡，大约为460克以上的咖啡因能产生最大的疗效。
研究人员表示，日常饮用咖啡导致大肠癌复发或死亡的风险减少，这与咖啡中的咖啡因成分有关。
部分原文报道如下；
colon cancer patients who enjoy a few cups of coffee a day appear to survive their cancer better and they're less likely to die early than non-coffee drinkers, researchers reported Monday.
It's the latest in a series of studies showing the benefits of coffee, which can lower the risk of diabetes, Parkinson's and cancer. This is the first one to show it may help patients recover better, and should come as welcome news to colon cancer patients who worry if they can safely enjoy coffee.
