The relationship between breast cancer treatment, tumour type and vitamin D level in pre- and postmenopausal women.

CONCLUSIONS: 25(OH)D level is lower in patients with breast cancer in comparison to healthy women, regardless of their menopausal status. The lowest levels are found in patients with ER and PR positive tumours. While a significant decrease in 25(OH)D level during the course of therapy is observed, the supplementation of vitamin D should be considered. PMID: 29298285 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
