Lymphoma Vitamin D: High Vitamin D Levels Associated with Improved Lymphoma Survival

Written by Keith D. Bishop, Clinical Nutritionist, B.Sc. Pharmacy, Health Coach - March 21, 2010

Mayo Clinic researchers find an association between higher levels of vitamin D and greater survival in patients treated for lymphoma.

Lymphoma Vitamin D - Higher levels of vitamin D increase lymphoma survivial.The National Cancer Institute funded the Iowa/Mayo Clinic Lymphoma Specialized Program of Research Excellence (SPORE). Researchers measured serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels in 374 patients with large B-cell lymphoma. Lymphoma was studies due to higher incidence of the disease in northern latitudes. People in northern latitudes have reduced exposure to sunlight which results in lower levels of vitamin D.

Half of the patients were found to have low blood levels of vitamin D. This deficient group had a 1.5 times greater adjusted risk of disease progression and twice the rate of dying over the course of the study compared to those with optimal vitamin D levels.

Vitamin D plays a role in the regulation of cell growth and death. A deficiency of vitamin D may be involved in the start of most cancers as well as influencing the outcome of the disease.

Do not guess on how much vitamin D you need to take. Some people need 400 iu per day while others need 15,000  iu per day. Ask your doctor for a 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 blood test or order one from our office.
