Vitamin C and B3 plus chemo-immunotherapy and radiation in small-cell lung cancer. A dramatic response? A case report.

This case report published January 2026 describes an elderly patient with extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer who achieved a near-complete thoracic radiologic remission after combined chemo-immunotherapy, chest and brain radiation, and high-dose vitamin C 3000 mg and vitamin B3 – nicotinamide 3000mg per day used throughout the conventional treatments.  The authors speculate could the additional two vitamins helped the patient in a therapeutic synergy – to help enhance the responses?

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.
