[Does high-dose intravenous vitamin C has anti-cancer activity ?]
Revue medicale suisse(2022)
Abstract
High-dose intravenously (i.v) vitamin C in cancer patients is controversial. Numerous studies carried out on cancer cell lines and animal models demonstrated that millimolar vitamin C concentrations inhibit tumor cells viability, especially in association with chemotherapy. In cancer patients, high-dose i.v vitamin C in monotherapy does not show any anti-cancer activity. Clinical trials assessing high-dose i.v vitamin C concomitantly with chemotherapy do not conclude to reliable evidence for tumor control or overall survival benefit. Randomized double-blind trials are warranted.
