Study links vitamin d for lung cancer Cancer Survival

1March 2011, ANN ARBOR, Mich. — recent research suggests that vitamin d may be able to stop or prevent cancer. A new study finds an enzyme that plays a role in metabolizing d-vitamin may predict lung cancer survival. This study by researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center, now proposes that this enzyme becomes mild effects of vitamin D levels of this enzyme, known as CYP24A1, was high and 50 times in lung adenocarcinoma cancer compared with the normal lung tissue. The highest level of CYP24A1 tumors was likely to be aggressive. Approximately one third of patients with lung cancer had high levels of this enzyme. After five years, the patients almost half the rate of survival as patients with low levels of the enzyme researchers then connects this with how CYP24A1 interacts with calcitriol, the active form of vitamin d. calcitriol CYP24A1 raster, which is a normal and essential role when kept in check box. But when I climb of enzyme CYP24A1 beginning to hamper the positive effects of low levels of vitamin d. results of the study in clinical cancer research.
