High-dose intravenous vitamin C, a promising multi-targeting agent in the treatment of cancer


A review in the Journal of experimental & clinical cancer research provides an elaborate overview of pre-clinical and clinical studies using high-dose IVC as anti-cancer agent, as well as a detailed evaluation of the main known molecular mechanisms involved. In addition, an outlook on future implications of high-dose vitamin C in cancer treatment is presented and recommendations for further research are discussed.

High-dose vitamin C enhances cancer immunotherapy


A study in Science translational medicine shows that a fully competent immune system is required to maximize the antiproliferative effect of VitC in breast, colorectal, melanoma, and pancreatic murine tumors. High-dose VitC modulates infiltration of the tumor microenvironment by cells of the immune system and delays cancer growth in a T cell-dependent manner.

Intravenously administered vitamin C as cancer therapy: three cases


A case report in the Canadian Medical Association journal = journal de l'Association medicale canadienne found 3 well-documented cases of advanced cancers, confirmed by histopathologic review, where patients had unexpectedly long survival times after receiving high-dose intravenous vitamin C therapy. The report examines clinical details of each case in accordance with National Cancer Institute (NCI) Best Case Series guidelines.
