Abstract in brief

Vitamin E was initially thought to prevent cancer, but large human studies showed it might actually increase prostate cancer risk.
The research found that vitamin E can boost certain liver-like enzymes (CYP enzymes) in prostate cells, leading to increased oxidative stress, DNA damage, and cell transformation, which are all linked to cancer development.
These effects were confirmed in both cell and animal studies, suggesting that vitamin E's prooxidant activity might explain the higher prostate cancer risk observed in some men taking vitamin E supplements.]
