Vitamin D could help in fighting pediatric bone cancer
The findings, published in the October issue of JOR could lead to a new treatment in fighting pediatric bone cancer, which has a survival rate of 60% to 70%.
The findings are important for a cancer that hasn’t seen the treatment methods or rate of survival change in the past 20 to 25 years. Most osteosarcoma patients undergo 10 weeks of chemotherapy before the tumor is removed.
The findings suggest that a normal size dose of vitamin D could become another tool in the treatment of osteosarcoma.
