Does taking vitamin C reduce pancreatic cancer risk?

Retrospective study looking at being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer (incidence) and those people who take or are prescribed vitamin C compared to those who do not from a health insurance database of 83,941 patients in the US. Overall those people in the vitamin C groups had lower incidence of pancreatic cancer throughout all ages and regions of the US. In addition healthcare costs were lower in these groups.

Increased Vitamin C Intake Is Associated With Decreased Pancreatic Cancer Risk

Discuss what this means for you

Research can raise useful questions. A study or individual case report does not establish that a treatment is suitable for everyone. Discuss medications, supplements and treatment changes with your care team.
