According to the information of national cancer institute, in 2013 Us alone. 22,240 women were diagnosed with the incidence of the disease with death of 14030.
Depending to the stage and grade of the cancer, chemotherapy such as cisplatin, carboplatin, paclitaxel, liposomal doxorubicin may be necessary to prevent the spread and recurrence of the cancer. Epidemiological studies focusing in vegetables and fruits in reduced risk and treatment of ovarian cancer have not been conclusive(a)(b)(c)(d), some herbs have showed to inhibit the progression of cancer with little or no side effects.
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble secosteroids found in small amount in few foods, including salmon, mackerel, sardines and tuna. The vitamin plays an important role in modulation of cellular proliferation, apoptosis induction, tumor growth suppression and promotion in absorption of minerals, including calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphate and zinc.
1. Serum of vitamin D and genes mutation
Suggestion of epidemiological studies, linking people who live in higher attitude or carry vitamin D receptor VDR rs2228570 and ApaI polymorphism are associated to the incidence of ovarian cancer and related motility rate(1)(2)(3)(4). These may be due to vitamin D deficiency and genes mutation. According to Uniwersytet Mikołaja Kopernika w Toruniu, [1.25(OH)2D3, the active form of vitamin D showed to inhibit cancer cell growth, induced cancer cell maturation, apoptosis, and decreased angiogenesis. People with lower levels of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) are associated to risk of ovarian cancer development(6)(7), lower overall survival rate and severe deficiency in more aggressive course of ovarian cancer(5). But the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, in association between circulating 25(OH)D and ovarian cancer risk, in logistic regression models used to estimate odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals among 516 cases and 770 matched controls, do not support an overall association between circulating 25(OH)D and ovarian cancer risk, except possibly among overweight women(8).
The efficacy
Epidemiological studies focusing in vitamin D in reduced risk of ovarian cancer have been inclusive. The study of Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, in a total of 1,225 incident epithelial ovarian cancer cases (NHS: 970, NHSII: 255) over 4,628,648 person-years of follow-up, indicated no evidence to support intake of vitamin D from food or supplements or predicted 25(OH)D levels are associated to risk of ovarian cancer(9) neither Plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(10), nor vitamin D supplementation(11). But according to Dr. Holick MF., Improved vitamin D status is associated to decreased risk for developing several deadly cancers including colon, breast, pancreatic and ovarian cancers(12) and Uniwersytet Mikołaja Kopernika w Toruniu, Vitamin D3 supplementation in moderate doses, many be benefits in decreased risk of developing cancer, including ovarian cancer(13). Some researchers suggested that 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 suppressed telomerase (a an essential enzyme that counteracts the telomere attrition accompanying DNA replication during cell division) expression and decreased in malignant human ovarian tumors as well as human ovarian cancer cell lines through microRNA(short (20-24 nt) non-coding RNAs are involved in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in multicellular organisms by affecting both the stability and translation of mRNAs.)-498(14)(15). In ovarian epithelial cancers (OCa), 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1,25(OH)(2) VD)(3) induced OCa cell apoptosis through down-regulating telomerase(16). Adding to above findings, The study by University of Hawaii Cancer Center suggested that lifetime vitamin D exposure may be inversely associated with risk of ovarian carcinoma(17).
Taking altogether, serum levels of vitamin D and vitamin D may be associated to reduced risk and treatment of ovarian cancer, through regulation of genes and suppression telomerase expression. Over doses of vitamin D supplement may cause excessive calcium absorption, calcification, Urinary stones etc. please make sure to follow the guideline of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies.
