Vitamin D and Breast Cancer Survival. Women with breast cancer who had adequate serum vitamin D levels (30+ ng/mL) had nearly twice the survival rate after 12 years of follow-up than vitamin D deficient (<20 ng/mL) women. n = 512, 12 yrs. Cancer Free Survival (RR). Serum Vitamin D Status.

  1. Vitamin D and Breast Cancer Survival Women with breast cancer who had adequate serum vitamin D levels (30+ ng/mL) had nearly twice the survival rate after 12 years of follow-up than vitamin D deficient (<20 ng/mL) women. n = 512, 12 yrs Cancer Free Survival (RR) Serum Vitamin D Status CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians. 2008 Sep/Oct;58:264-265.

  2. Prevalence of Low Vitamin D In this study of vitamin D status in 512 women: • 37.5% were deficient • 38.5% were insufficient • 24% were adequate Adequate is 30 ng/mL or higher (73 nmol/L). n = 512 Percentage Vitamin D Status CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians. 2008 Sep/Oct;58:264-265.

  3. New Emerging Serum Vitamin D Norms Serum vitamin D test results (25-Hydroxyvitamin D) are shown in these two units.
