+ | Apoptosis, or regulated cell suicide, eliminates unwanted and damaged cells, including precancerous and cancerous cells. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are chemically-reactive molecules containing oxygen that act to neutralize antioxidants. In their 2000 study, Salganki //et al.// reasoned that since ROS act as essential apoptotic mediators, increasing the ROS level might enhance apoptosis and thereby slow down tumor growth.(({{pubmed> | ||

+ | Researchers at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center studied the effects of vitamin C on cancer cells.(({{pubmed> | ||
+ | |||
+ | Dr. Heaney and his colleagues tested five different chemotherapy drugs on cancer cells in the laboratory. Some of the cells were first treated with vitamin C. In each case and in dose-dependent fashion, chemotherapy did not work as well if cells had been exposed to vitamin C. The chemotherapy agents killed 30 to 70 percent fewer cancer cells when the cells were treated with the vitamin. | ||
+ | |||
+ | A second set of experiments implanted cancer cells in mice. They found that the tumors grew more rapidly in mice that were given cancer cells pretreated with vitamin C. The researchers found that just like healthy cells, cancer cells also benefit from vitamin C. The vitamin appeared to repair a cancer cell’s damaged mitochondria, | ||
+ | |||
+ | “Vitamin C appears to protect the mitochondria from extensive damage, thus saving the cell,” Dr. Heaney said. “And whether directly or not, all anticancer drugs work to disrupt the mitochondria to push cell death.” | ||
