IMPACT OF VITAMIN C ON THE RISK OF BREAST CANCER: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Abstract

The impact of vitamin C consumption through dietary consumption and supplementation on decreasing the risk of breast cancer is still inconclusive. Though evidence related to the biological mechanisms of vitamin C for anti-cancer treatment is supportive, the impact of vitamin C in terms of averting or decreasing the risk of breast cancer remains unclear. Thus, further clinical trials and research studies are needed to explicate the impact of vitamin C on the risk of breast cancer so that vitamin C can be used to modify the propagation of breast cancer
