Can vitamin C really cure cancer?

Studies in mice and tests are underway to test similar studies in humans suggest that vitamin C could help treat cancer. The idea has become extremely popular in the 1970s after the Nobel prize winner Chemist Linus Pauling suggested that helped terminally ill patients survive for longer periods.
Mouse
In a recent study, researchers directed by Mark Levine, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, Bethesda, Maryland, gave vitamin C to mice intravenously. The researchers injected immunodeficient mice with cells from three aggressive human cancers: ovarian tumors, pancreatic and form a so-called glioblastoma brain cancer. They found that vitamin C injections slow tumor growth by 53%.
Levine explained that the injection of vitamin C in the blood, it is possible to obtain quantities Vitamin much greater in a tumor than is possible with oral supplements. Well that vitamin C is an antioxidant general, in these circumstances, it acts as an impetus oxidation that kills cancer cells. It also suggests that injections of vitamin C added to conventional therapy for cancer. They also noted that there was a woman in a preliminary clinical trial for the same doses of vitamin C than those observed in experimental mice.
Humans
This study, led by Jeanne Drisko of the University Kansas City, seeks to recruit fifty women to test the safety of intravenous vitamin C, and other antioxidants through oral, in addition to existing therapies for ovarian cancer of the cervix or uterus. Although there is little evidence that it works in humans, doctors in the Drisko clinical injections administered to all patients willing to pay for it.
Meanwhile, studies continue and cancer treatment centers of America in Zion, Illinois, is testing the safety of injections of vitamin C in the late stage cancer patients for whom no other treatment options. To date, only 10 of 18 patients were enrolled in the trial.
Alternatives not so good
precise answers about the effectiveness of intravenous vitamin C can only come from larger trials in the future. Unfortunately, he came to the attention of researchers that cancer patients are desperate for self-medication with a compound of low cost has not yet been tested in humans called dichloroacetate (DCA). Despite warnings of toxic poisoning and even after researchers University of Alberta, who used the substance to shrink tumors in rats that later died, the practice continues. It is this fact that researchers have afraid to report their findings to the public because they fear they will begin to inject vitamin C without medical supervision.
There are a number of cancer patients consumption of antioxidant vitamins without talking to your doctor. While some complementary approaches suggest that antioxidants may reduce side effects, conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy are thought to work partly by generating free radicals to kill cancer cells. Consequently, vitamins Antioxidants can clean up these radicals, as they often interfere with cancer treatment. You also make sure that you are not in any other vitamin supplements to avoid any complication.
