Study Results Indicate Benefits of Antioxidants Following Breast Cancer Therapy

In honor of breast cancer awareness month, for anyone you know who has breast cancer, the risk of breast cancer recurrence was 36% lower in association with the use of Vitamin D. 

An article published in Breast Cancer Research and Treatment reports that supplementation with antioxidants after treatment for breast cancer is not only safe, but may help improve survival.*

Elizabeth M. Poole of Harvard University and her associates analyzed data from 12,019 breast cancer survivors enrolled in one of four studies included in the After Breast Cancer Pooling Project. The analysis examined the use of supplements at least one year after diagnosis. Over follow-up, 1,298 deaths occurred, of which 65% were due to breast cancer.

Sixty percent of the women reported using supplements from one-to-five years following diagnosis. The use of any antioxidant supplement, categorized as vitamins C, E, or a multivitamin supplement in this study, was associated with a 16% lower adjusted risk of dying from any cause over follow-up, and for those who used all three supplements, the risk was 21% lower.

The risk of breast cancer recurrence was 36% lower in association with the use of vitamin D among women with estrogen receptor-positive tumors.
