Could a simple vitamin help fight blood cancers?

NCT ID NCT02553447

Summary

This study tested whether giving vitamin D supplements to patients with newly diagnosed lymphoma or leukemia who have low vitamin D levels could help control their cancer. Researchers compared high-dose and low-dose vitamin D against no treatment to see if it improved how long patients lived without their cancer getting worse. The goal was to see if correcting vitamin D deficiency might be a helpful addition to standard cancer care.
