Vitamin C and its Action on Cancer Cells


Abstract:

Vitamin C is a substance that has been the subject of debate over the years because of its numerous documented uses. Benefits have been shown in some cases, from use as prevention and shortening the duration of colds to reviewing vitamin C and its effects on diseases such as cancer. Therefore, vitamin C has been studied to evaluate the different mechanisms of action of vitamin C in relation to cancer; even vitamin C has been used as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy to demonstrate or eliminate its role in cancer. The aim of this review is to show whether the effects of vitamin C are effective and whether it makes sense to use it as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy; and even more to confirm or deny its positive effect in cancer.
