Can Low Vitamin D Cause Bone Cancer?

Introduction

There are quite interesting studies regarding connection between low level of vitamins and bone cancer in particular.

Vitamin D and Bone Health 

A deficiency in vitamin D will lead to poor absorption of calcium for which it acts as a cofactor, this will have an overall implication on development of strong bones. 

Association with Cancer Types 

Most research has provided evidence that low vitamin D levels are associated with higher than normal risks of various types of cancer such as breast and colon cancer. 

Bone Metastases

Perhaps, inadequate vitamin D levels may predispose patients to develop bone metastases if they already have cancers.

Prognosis 

In patients having multiple myeloma and other malignancies, low vitamin D level are more common and are indicative of poor prognosis. 

Supplementation 

It may be possible to change for the better outcomes and none-cancer progression risks through supplementing on vitamin D. 

These should be enough to support the bones and there is evidence linking vitamin D to some forms of cancers.
