Antioxidants and Tumor Angiogenesis: Summary
This Science Matters discusses recent findings that antioxidants, such as vitamin C, can stimulate tumor angiogenesis in lung cancer via a BACH1 dependent mechanism. This challenges the widely accepted view that antioxidants universally protect the body by neutralizing free radicals. Antioxidants were found to promote the formation of new blood vessels in tumors, which potentially accelerates tumor growth and metastasis, highlighting the complex impact of antioxidant supplements on cancer progression.
