Antioxidant Supplementation May Benefit Colorectal Cancer Patients
In a study involving 76 subjects, including 36 with colorectal cancer and 40 healthy controls, levels of oxidative stress were found to be significantly greater (higher levels of protein carbonyl, advanced oxidation protein products, serum 8-OHdG), while activity of antioxidative enzymes and serum levels of vitamins C and E were found to be significantly lower in subjects with colorectal cancer, as compared to healthy controls. Additional research is needed to assess the effects of supplementation with antioxidants in the prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer
