Antioxidants and cancer therapy II: quick reference guide

D W Lamson et al. Altern Med Rev. 2000 Apr.

Abstract

The previous lengthy review concerning the effects of antioxidant compounds used concurrently with radiotherapy and chemotherapy has been reduced to a reference guide.

The vast majority of both in vivo and in vitro studies have shown enhanced effectiveness of standard cancer therapies or a neutral effect on drug action
