Effects of folate deficiency on gene expression in the apoptosis and cancer pathways in colon cancer cells
16 Dec 2005
Abstract excerpt
Folate is a B vitamin, deficiency of which appears to increase the risk of developing several malignancies including colorectal cancer. In contrast to the cancer-promoting effect of folate deficiency in normal tissues, several lines of evidence indicate that folate depletion suppresses the progression of existing neoplasms and enhance the sensitivity of cancer cells to chemotherapy.
