Vitamin D may be related to cancer incidence. Liao Zhixiong, director of the Department of Nursing and Cancer at Taichung Hospital, said today that the average blood vitamin D value of 90 cancer patients is lower than the standard value. The study believes that low vitamin D is related to increasing cancer death risk.
Liao Zhixiong, director of the Department of Nursing and Cancer at Taichung Hospital of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, pointed out that Vitamin D has been found in recent years that it may be related to the cancer incidence rate and even to the cancer survival rate, but there are still disputes over causality and clear relationships.
{9Side these uncertainties, Liao Zhixiong said that in addition to the well-known promotion of bone growth, vitamin D itself also has the functions of "immune regulation" and "anti-inflammatory". In animal experiments, various vitamin D reduces tumor cell proliferation and transfer. Human studies have also found that low vitamin D in cancer friends may be related to increasing the risk of cancer death, but more clinical studies are needed to confirm it.
Liao Zhixiu followed 90 patients who had cancer treatment and found that the average blood vitamin D value was lower than the recommended standard for normal people. Vitamin D is an important yang hormone nutrient. The skin needs sunlight to transform into vitamin D. Through VDR (vitamin D receptor), it is an important "immune regulator" nutrient that makes good immune cells stable.
Liao Zhixiong said that after hard surgery, chemical treatment, radiation treatment and other courses, cancer patients often encounter various nutrient deficiency (vitamin D and B). Immune depression causes swelling (bubble) rash, physical and mental stress, depression, insomnia and side effects caused by treatment. These conditions are related to "defeating" inflammation and immunity inhibition, and may affect physical health for more than half a year.
For the treatment of cancer friends, Liao Zhixiong said that tumors in Taichung Hospital help the doctor to develop a scientific Western medical treatment that fights "defeated" inflammation and improves "good" immunity. By understanding vitamin D, body inflammation index, dietary exercise, blood sugar and fat lift, physical and mental pressure, treatment side effects, quality of life and other problems, it helps patients to create a complete personalized protection network and increase the success rate of treatment.
