Fat soluble vitamins and cancer localization associated to an abnormal ketone derivative of D3 vitamin: carcinomedin

A study assessed whether alterations of blood levels of vitamin A, beta-carotene, and alpha-tocopherol correlated with the carcinogenic development and localization of carcinomas using multivariant analysis of sera from 1068 patients having different types of cancer and from 880 healthy controls.

Summary:A study assessed whether alterations of blood levels of vitamin A, beta-carotene, and alpha-tocopherol correlated with the carcinogenic development and localization of carcinomas using multivariant analysis of sera from 1068 patients having different types of cancer and from 880 healthy controls. The results indicate that various forms of cancer may alter the metabolism of these vitamins and that such alterations may be involved in the carcinogenic process.
