Since the 1970s, researchers have taken an interest in high-dose vitamin C and its therapeutic potential for treating cancer. New research shows how vitamin C might stop leukemic stem cells from multiplying, and thus block some forms of blood cancer from advancing.
The evidence for vitamin C as an effective treatment for cancer remains controversial. Several studies have shown that it works against a wide variety of cancers, including pancreatic cancer, liver cancer, colon cancer, and ovarian cancer. Other studies, however, have suggested that it might make chemotherapy less effective.

New research - conducted by scientists at the Perlmutter Cancer Center at New York University (NYU) Langone Health in New York City - investigates the effect of vitamin C on blood cancer.

The first author of the study is Luisa Cimmino, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the Department of Pathology at NYU Langone Health, and the findings were published in the journal Cell.
