Vitamin D therapy may be a useful addition to the treatment of ovarian cancer, study suggests

Ovarian cancer has one of the highest death rates of all cancers. One reason for this is that cancer turns the body's defenses against itself. However, new research from Nagoya University published in Matrix Biology suggests that vitamin D can effectively prevent one of the key pathways used by this cancer.
