Advantages of Vitamin C Anticancer Therapy over Other Pharmacological Interventions

2026-06-10

Abstract excerpt

This article reviews pharmacological strategies targeting key metabolic pathways in cancer cells and highlights their inherent limitations, including metabolic plasticity and lack of selectivity. It is proposed that these vulnerabilities can be addressed through a global redox-based approach using high-dose vitamin C. Evidence suggests that the anticancer activity of vitamin C is mediated by its oxidation to dehyd...
