Intravenous Vitamin C as a Chemotherapy Agent: a Report on Clinical Cases

 

Abstract

A series of seven cases are presented in which intravenous vitamin C has been used as antineoplastic agent in the treatment of different types of cancers.

 

The cancers cases reviewed are the following: Renal cell carcinoma (2), Colorectal cancer (1), Pancreatic cancer (1), Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (2) and breast cancer (1).

 

Toxic reactions were not observed at these high doses of intravenous Vitamin C.

 

All patients were prescreened for Glucose 6--phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency before administering intravenous Vitamin C in order to prevent hemolysis.
