Plasma vitamin D levels and vitamin D receptor polymorphisms are associated with survival of non-small cell lung cancer
1 Mar 2011
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Vitamin D and its receptor (VDR) involve in multiple cellular processes and play an important role in the initiation and progression of malignancy. Thus we hypothesized that plasma vitamin D levels and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in VDR may be of prognostic significance in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS: We examined plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels in 87 patients...
