A recent meta-analysis in the journal Nutrients has found that vitamin D plays a critical role in both the prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer. Researchers reviewed 50 studies with over 1.3 million participants. They discovered that low levels of vitamin D correlate with poorer cancer prognoses and that vitamin D can inhibit tumor growth while promoting the death of cancer cells. Additionally, the American Cancer Society has acknowledged the vitamin's potential in reducing cancer risk, although findings on supplementation remain inconclusive.
The most important finding is that vitamin D plays a critical role in the prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer, according to study author János Tamás Varga.
These mechanisms significantly influence the pathophysiology of colorectal cancer, including reducing inflammation and enhancing immune response.
