Advanced Pancreatic Cancer Patients Shrank Tumor With High Dose Vitamin C
Watch this video to learn how high dose IVC can help shrink pancreatic tumors.
Continue on to the article below if you would rather read than watch a video.
It is unacceptable that the prognosis of someone with Pancreatic Cancer today is the same as someone diagnosed in the late 1980’s. Unfortunately, the current “Standard Treatment” of chemotherapy (sometimes combined radiotherapy) results in less than 8% of patients surviving 5 years from their diagnosis.
This article reviews evidence from 3 studies that shows adding high dose vitamin C infusions to standard treatments can improve progression free survival and overall survival.
And here is the most exciting part; these studies included advanced pancreatic cancer patients who previously failed chemo, but after including high dose vitamin C in their treatment their tumors shrank qualifying them for surgical removal of their cancer. Be sure to read the entire article to see which combinations lead to this result.
Pancreatic cancer is among the most lethal forms of cancer. The current standard treatment options do not provide optimistic results and can be very toxic to patients. However, research completed in the last 20 years by the National Institute of Health and other research cancer hospitals has shown high dose vitamin C infusions can improve a patients chance of beating the disease.
Today we will look at several studies that used high dose vitamin C combined with chemotherapy or a chemoradiation treatment plan. The leading cancer Doctors involved in these studies have determined properly dosed vitamin C is a non-toxic complementary treatment that can reduce side effects from chemo and radiation while improving the efficacy of those treatments. The Doctors observed that high dose intravenous vitamin C (also known as IVC) was shown:
to help restrict disease progression;
reduce the size of tumors;
enabling some patients to qualify for surgical removal of the tumor;
enjoy substantially longer overall survival.
Clinical Trials show High Dose Vitamin C can shrink pancreatic cancer tumors.
Holden Cancer Center - World Leader in High Dose Vitamin C Cancer Treatment
In December of 2018 the NCI designated Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Iowa published the results of using IVC with chemoradiation therapy to treat patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. Dr. Joseph Cullen leads the research Team in Iowa.
He observed that by using high dose vitamin C, they tripled progression-free survival and the latest data shows they also doubled overall patient survival. Additionally, patients had less side effects from the chemoradiation treatment. But the most exciting outcome was the great success stories achieved; advanced pancreatic cancer patients who previously failed the very toxic FOLFIRINOX treatment, were able to shrink their tumors to qualify for surgical removal after using IVC with chemoradiation.
In his article, Dr. Joseph Cullen stated high dose vitamin C treatment “decreases the viability and proliferative capacity of pancreatic cancer via a hydrogen peroxide mechanism of action ” he further describes “we demonstrate that IVC radiosensitizes pancreatic cancer cells but inhibits radiation-induced damage to normal cells”.
Basically, Dr. Cullen is saying he observed IVC made chemoradiation more effective while also reducing side effects.
Kansas Medical Center find success with High Dose Vitamin C
Our second example looks at a study that includes Dr. Jeanne Drisko’s team of researchers from the University of Kansas and Mark Levine from the National Institutes of Health. They treated advanced and metastatic pancreatic cancer patients with high dose vitamin C combined with gemcitabine chemotherapy. Like those at the University of Iowa, they also saw that IVC helped double the typical overall survival and improve the patients quality of life by reducing side effects.
And also another big success, a patient with advanced disease who failed FOLFIRINOX treatment was able to shrink their tumor to qualify for surgical resection.
Dr. Jeanne Drisko and her Team summed up the evidence by stating:
“IVC was safe in patients and showed the possibility to prolong patients’ survival. There was no interference with gemcitabine pharmacokinetics by IVC administration. Taken together, this data revealed a multi-targeting mechanism of high dose vitamin C’s anti-cancer action.”
High Dose Vitamin C shrinks tumor for nearly 90% of patients.
Moving on to our third study, we again see NIH’s Mark Levine contributes his vitamin C expertise. He is joined by researchers from Thomas Jefferson University. They treated metastatic pancreatic cancer patients using high dose vitamin C with chemotherapies gemcitabine and erlotinib. Despite the advanced metastatic cancer conditions, 89% of the patients in the study saw their tumor shrank while getting treated. (link to study)
Completed and ongoing clinical studies continue to show evidence that high dose vitamin C is capable of improving outcomes for those with advanced and metastatic pancreatic cancers. In summary the research articles showed high dose vitamin C is a non-toxic treatment that can:
Safely prevent cancer growth
Enhance the effectiveness of chemo and radiation
Improve overall survival
Boost quality of life by reducing the side effects from standard treatment
