Vitamins play a crucial role in controlling gene expression, metabolism, and cell development. A lack of vitamins can lead to cancer and other deficiency-related disorders. According to a TOI report, the following vitamin deficiencies are associated with an increased risk of cancer: Vitamin C deficiency Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin with strong antioxidant properties.
It is vital for immune function, wound healing, and collagen production. Low levels of vitamin C are linked to a higher risk of cancers, particularly those of the oesophagus, stomach, and lungs. Vitamin A deficiency Vitamin A, a fat-soluble vitamin, is necessary for cell growth, immune function, and vision.
Retinoids , the active forms of vitamin A, regulate gene expression and are critical for cell development and death. As per TOI report, research has shown that insufficient vitamin A can increase the risk of cancers such as those of the stomach, oesophagus, and lungs. Vitamin D deficiency Vitamin D, a fat-soluble vitamin, is essential for immune health, bone health, and calcium metabolism.
Many people around the world, especially in areas with little sunlight or poor diets, suffer from vitamin D deficiency. Several studies have linked low levels of vitamin D to an increased risk of cancers, including breast, prostate, colorectal, and pancreatic cancers. Selenium deficiency Selenium is a trace mineral with antioxidant properties that protects cells from damage and supports the immune system.
A lack of selenium has been associated with a higher risk of cancers such as skin, lung, prostate, and colorectal cancers. According to research in the National Library of Medicine, "In the largest trial, the Selenium and Vitamin E Cancer Trial, selenium supplementation increased risks of alopecia and dermatitis, and for participants with highest background selenium status, supplementation also increased risk of high-grade prostate cancer."
