Association between Plasma 25-Hydroxyvitamin D and Breast Cancer Risk
Cancer Prevention Research, 06/12/09

Crew KD et al. - The results add to a growing body of evidence that adequate vitamin D stores may prevent breast cancer development. Whereas circulating 25-OHD levels of >32 ng/mL are associated with normal bone mineral metabolism, data suggest that the optimal level for breast cancer prevention is >=40 ng/mL. Well-designed clinical trials are urgently needed to determine whether vitamin D supplementation is effective for breast cancer chemoprevention.
