"Patients with Vitamin D Deficiency Fare
Worse in Battle with Lymphoma," Nathan Seppa, Science News, January 2, 2010.
"A shortage
of vitamin D may stack the deck against people fighting a common form of
lymphoma, researchers reported December 5....From 2002 to 2008, researchers
analyzed blood samples from 374 newly diagnosed patients (median age 62) with diffuse
large B cell lymphoma, a fast-growing cancer of white blood cells called B
cells...it accounts for roughly 30 percent of lymphomas....The study participants
were deficient in vitamin D at the start of the treatment, with less than 25
nanograms per milliliter of blood."
"Patients
deficient in vitamin D were twice as likely to die as were patients who had
adequate vitamin D levels at the outset....also about 50 percent more likely than
the others to have their cancer worsen..."
*If you'd like to have
your vitamin D level checked we can easily set you up for a blood test at
