Summary

High doses of vitamins have been used to treat cancer. This book explores the ways Vitamin C retards cancers through the perturbation of multiple cellular pathways, by eliciting a hypoxic response in cancer cells, by stimulation of radio-sensitivity, and by reprogramming somatic cell activities. A chapter summarizes clinical trials and therapies.
