Breast Cancer Patients have Vitamin D Deficiency

It is known that Vitamin D deficiency is associated with increased risk of breast cancer and decreased survival.  A new study quantified the prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency in women with breast cancer.  This study, from physicians at Columbia University, found that 74% of women with breast cancer were Vitamin D deficient.  They prescribed vitamin D and calcium carbonate for one year but only 15% were able to achieve normal vitamin D levels.  Optimal dosing for bone health is still unknown  This study was supported by the National Cancer Institute and published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

More free information about breast cancer is available from the breast cancer malpractice attorneys of Pennsylvania.
