Abstract: The study found a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in hospitalized cancer patients under active treatment. Many authors have recommended dosing vitamin D levels in this population; normalizing serum levels is difficult.

“…In 2014, a meta-analysis by Chowdhury et al [39] observed a 16% increase in mortality for every decline of 10 ng/mL in the serum vitD levels. Moreover, among cancer patients, a high prevalence (about 70%) of vitD deficiency has been reported [40] , lower in outpatients (48%) than inpatients (up to 97.5%) [41][42] . Accordingly, in our study, 68% of NEN patients had vitD deficiency, but in contrast to the studies that demonstrated an inverse correlation between vitD levels and colorectal carcinoma staging [43][44] , in this study no significant correlation with vitD levels and the staging or grading of the disease was found.…”

“…Another common theme found in the literature is the association of VDD and cancer development, namely colon, prostate, and breast cancer (Iruzubieta et al, 2014;Stein et al, 2009;Stokes et al, 2014;Villar et al, 2013). VDD is prevalent among cancer patients with one study showing 74% of breast cancer patients to be low in VD and VDS conferring a 15% decrease in mortality among lung cancer patients (Aguirre et al, 2016). Relevant to liver disease is that hepatocellular and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma often develop in patients with cirrhosis and is inversely related to levels of VD (Stokes et al, 2013).…”

“…Individuals at risk for bone loss are recommended to consume 1200 to 1500 mg of calcium and 400 to 600 IU of vitamin D per day; however, there are no established guidelines for calcium and vitamin D in patients with cancer . Studies have shown that 70% to 97.5% of patients with cancer are vitamin D deficient . Calcium levels in patients with cancer vary.…”
