Evaluation of Vitamin D3 levels and dietary management in patients with papillary thyroid cancer

CONCLUSION: It should be noted that VitD deficiency is presented in 70% of patients with PTC in our study sample. Dietary recommendation applied as lifestyle changes along with oral VitD3 supplementation, corrected VitD status to the recommended serum level. Although the data from our study is not sufficient to evaluate the VitD level as a prognostic factor for cancer, we have shown that it is necessary to examine its level along with an individual dietary approach for each patient with PTC.PMID:38085835 | DOI:10.1967/s002449912604
