1.1 Mechanism of action of Vitamin E in the treatment of lung cancer
According to some studies, vitamin E has the effect of slowing down the development of lung cancer cells, has the ability to prevent the development of cancer cells by preventing the distribution of cancer cells and reducing their ability to regenerate. In addition, vitamin E also has the effect of preventing the development of cancer cells by activating the body’s immune system to help destroy cancer cells.
1.2 Antioxidant effects and role in preventing the development of cancer cells
Vitamin E has an antioxidant effect, helping to minimize the effects of free radicals on cells, preventing the development of cancer cells. According to research by Tran Quang Vinh (2013), vitamin E has a stronger antioxidant capacity than other vitamins and has the effect of protecting cells from free radical attacks, helping to reduce the risk of cancer
2. Some current research
2.1 Research by Drs. Olli P. Heinonen (1994): Indicates that there is no difference in the rate of lung cancer in male smokers after 5-8 years of vitamin E supplementation in the diet.
2.2 Research by J Thorac Dis. (2013): Research by J Thorac Dis. (2013) indicates that vitamin E shows an effect against some specific histopathological types of lung cancer. Vitamin E, along with Vitamin C and some other antioxidants, has the ability to prevent the distribution of cancer cells and slow down their multiplication.
3. Conclusion
From the above information, we can see the great potential of vitamin E in the treatment of lung cancer. Vitamin E has the ability to prevent the growth of cancer cells by preventing the distribution of cancer cells and reducing their ability to regenerate. In addition, vitamin E also has the effect of preventing the growth of cancer cells by activating the body’s immune system to help destroy cancer cells, has an antioxidant effect, helps minimize the impact of free radicals on cells, prevents DNA damage and prevents the growth of cancer cells. In addition, the combined use with cancer treatments such as chemotherapy, surgery or X-ray therapy also has a positive effect in reducing the toxicity of treatments and increasing the effectiveness of treatment. However, it should be noted that the use of vitamin E in the treatment of lung cancer must be carried out under the supervision of medical professionals. Using the wrong dosage and time can cause side effects and affect the patient’s health.
Therefore, to ensure effective treatment of lung cancer and protect the patient’s health, it is necessary to combine the use of vitamin E with other treatments such as chemotherapy, surgery or X-ray treatment. At the same time, it is necessary to strictly follow the dosage and time of use as prescribed by the doctors.
Hopefully this information will help patients and their relatives in learning about current lung cancer treatments.
