Effect of Vitamin D Supplementation on Survival of Digestive Tract Cancer Patients with Low Bioavailable 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Levels: A Post Hoc Analysis of the AMATERASU Randomized Clinical Trial

Effect of Vitamin D Supplementation on Survival of Digestive Tract Cancer Patients with Low Bioavailable 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Levels: A Post Hoc Analysis of the AMATERASU Randomized Clinical Trial

Vitamin D has been shown to suppress the growth of cancer cells. Cancer cells are believed to take up bioavailable 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) (i.e., not bound to vitamin-D-binding protein (DBP)) more efficiently than DBP-bound 25(OH)D. Our aim was to use this bioavailable 25(OH)D, rather than tot...
