According to the research team's lead investigator, these findings could lead to novel treatments of colorectal cancer, the second-leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. Traditionally, antioxidants like vitamin E and beta-carotene have been touted as agents that prevent cancers from forming. While a chemopreventative effect has not yet been proven, we have found evidence that antioxidants may help treat established cancers. A major reason the remaining 80 percent of advanced tumors are resistant to chemotherapy is that these tumor harbor a disabled gene. Antioxidants bypass this disabled gene and, in combination with chemotherapy, lead to arrested tumor growth.
