Clinical
trials found that it is safe to regularly infuse brain and lung cancer
patients with 800 - 1000 times the daily recommended amount of vitamin C
as a potential strategy to improve outcomes of standard cancer
treatments. In a work presented in Cancer Cell, University of Iowa
researchers also show pathways by which altered iron metabolism in
cancer cells, and not normal cells, lead to increased sensitivity to
cancer cell death caused by high dose vitamin C.
