Vitamin D and cancer: current dilemmas and future research needs.

The American journal of clinical nutrition - 1 Aug 2008

Davis Cindy D

Abstract excerpt

A diversity of scientific literature supports a role for vitamin D in decreasing colorectal cancer incidence, but the available evidence provides only limited support for an inverse association between vitamin D status and the risk of other types of cancer. We need additional studies analyzing the dose-response relation between vitamin D status and cancer risk, the optimal level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, the length...
