Abstract: Mata aMOF da et al. 680rev assoC med bras 2016; 62(7):680-686 This review is aimed at the systematic mapping of ascorbic acid in the prevention and/or treatment of cancer in clinical and non-clinical studies from 2011 to 2015, in order to understand dose-response variations as well as its mechanisms of action as an antioxidant and antitumor agent. Seventy-eight articles were retrieved from the PubMed/Bireme database, of which only 30 included ascorbic acid in the prevention and/or treatment of cancer. However,… Show more

“…Vitamin C is an important antioxidant and an essential nutrient (21), and the results of the present study suggest that it exhibits an anti-tumor activity through promoting apoptosis. Mata et al (22) conducted a series of non-clinical studies using different tumor cell lineages to examine the effect of different concentrations of vitamin C for the treatment and/or prevention of these types of cancer. They demonstrated that vitamin C at a concentration range of 0.1-4 mM significantly inhibited the proliferation of these cancer cell lines (22).…”

They demonstrated that vitamin C at a concentration range of 0.1-4 mM significantly inhibited the proliferation of these cancer cell lines (22). Chen et al (6)(7)(8) additionally demonstrated that the growth and weight of ovarian, pancreatic and glioblastoma tumor xenografts in athymic nude mice decreased when intraperitoneally injected with vitamin C, and they demonstrated that mM concentrations of vitamin C killed cancer cells, but had less of an effect on normal cells (23).…”
