Vitamin D Won't Help Prevent Most Cancers
Date:10/30/2007

In a related study published in the same issue of the journal, a team at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, in Houston, found that treatment with a derivative of vitamin A might help reduce former smokers' risk of developing lung cancer.

Patients who received the derivative, called 13-cis-retinoic acid, displayed reduced lung cell growth of the type that might later form cancers, the team reported.

There's more on vitamin D at the U.S. Office of Dietary Supplements.
