Co-researcher Dr Jeanne Drisko told BBC News that there was growing interest in the use of Vitamin C by oncologists.

"Patients are looking for safe and low-cost choices in their management of cancer. Intravenous vitamin C has that potential based on our basic science research and early clinical data," said Drisko.(IANS)
