Abstract: Abstract: Vitamin D is a fat-soluble essential vitamin that participates in a variety of biological processes, especially in preventing and treating of rickets and senile fracture. Besides of its effect on the absorption and storage of calcium and phosphorus, experimental data suggest a protective effect of vitamin D on cancer. The relationship between vitamin D and cancer has become a hot topic in cancer research. Here, we briefly review the relationship between vitamin D and a variety of cancers, such as breast cancer and colorectal cancer, and have a discussion on the molecular mechanisms and clinical applications of vitamin D in cancer.
Key words: vitamin D; cancer; breast cancer; colorectal cancer
