RESUMEN
The anti-cancer mechanism of High-dose Vitamin C (HDVC) is mainly to participate in the Fenton reaction, hydroxylation reaction, and epigenetic modification, which leads to the energy crisis, metabolic collapse, and severe peroxidation stress that results in the proliferation inhibition or death of cancer cells. However, the mainstream view is that HDVC does not significantly improve cancer treatment outcomes. In clinical work and scientific research, we found that some drugs or therapies can significantly improve the anti-cancer effects of HDVC, such as PD-1 inhibitors that can increase the anti-cancer effects of cancerous HDVC by nearly three times. Here, the adjuvant and intensive therapy and synergistic mechanisms including HDVC combined application of chemoradiotherapies multi-vitamins, targeted drugs, immunotherapies, and oncolytic virus are discussed in detail. Adjuvant and intensive therapy of HDVC can significantly improve the therapeutic effect of HDVC in the metabolic treatment of cancer, but more clinical evidence is needed to support its clinical application.
