Now, a new study finds an enzyme that plays a role in metabolizing vitamin D can predict lung cancer survival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoraLynn Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 In reading the article, it seemed like the enzyme hindered but didn't stop or prevent Vitamin D from helping to fight the cancer. If this is so, then if they can identify heightened levels of the enzyme, then perhaps they could administer more vitamin D (Is vitamin D injections experimental or are they covered under health plans?). Or the best scenario would be to create a drug that could block the enzyme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
