Calcium Supplements May Prevent Breast Cancer Metastasis to the Bone
In a study published in the Oct. 1 issue of Cancer Research, data suggests that dietary calcium may prevent breast cancer from metastasizing to the bone.
In an animal study, they found that dietary calcium deficiencywas related to a significantly higher increase in cancer cell proliferation and the total proportion of bone that had been penetrated. Dietary supplementation with calcium might help prevent the spread of breast cancer to bone and serve as an adjuvant treatment during therapy, particularly among women with breast cancer known to be calcium deficient due to low calcium dietary intake or due to vitamin D deficiencyand are thus at increased risk for bone metastases.
