Vitamin D Protects Cells From Stress That Can Lead To Cancer

The effect of vitamin D on stress in cells was reported in the May 13, 2008 issue of ScienceDaily.

"Many epidemiological studies have suggested the beneficial properties of vitamin D," said Yi-Fen Lee, associate professor of urology at the Medical Center who led the research. "Our findings reflect what we see in those studies and demonstrate that vitamin D not only can be used as a therapy for prostate cancer, it can prevent prostate cancer from happening."
