What the studies found
Vitamin C (incl. high-dose) has been studied for neuroblastoma in animals, not yet in people.
We found 26 published papers on vitamin C (incl. high-dose) and neuroblastoma. They were published between 1979 and 2017.
0 of them are studies in people (0 randomised trials), 0 are reviews, 5 are studies in animals and 20 are studies only in the lab.
The most important ones are listed under Sources.
What this means for you: Results in animals or in cells often do not hold in people. Do not stop or change your medicines because of it. Ask your doctor before you start taking it.
