This concise SpringerBrief on Vitamin C and Cancer presents the latest findings on how vitamin C induces apoptosis. A high concentration of vitamin C allows for ascorbate to generate hydrogen peroxide in tissue that can selectively kill cancer cells. Research has confirmed that high-dose vitamin C is cytotoxic to a wide variety of cancer cell lines, and that it also boosts the anti-cancer activity of several common chemotherapy drugs. Vitamin C also does more than just kill cancer cells. It boosts immunity by stimulating collagen formation to help the body wall off the tumor. It inhibits hyaluronidase, an enzyme that tumors use to metastasize and invade other organs throughout the body. This concise and up-to-date Brief is geared towards cancer researchers and scientists, as well as physicians interested in the basic science and the translational potential of vitamin C in cancer therapeutics.SpringerBriefs in Cancer Research,2194-1173CancerResearchMolecular biologyMedicineCancer Researchhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B11001Molecular Medicinehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B1700XBiomedicine, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B0000XCancerResearch.Molecular biology.Medicine.Cancer Research.Molecular Medicine.Biomedicine, general.610611.01816614.5999Gonzalez Michael Jauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1065240Miranda-Massari Jorge Rauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910298337803321New Insights on Vitamin C and Cancer2544095UNINA
