Treatment with vitamin A- and D- related drugs seems to inhibit breast cancer cells, say researchers at the Uni-versity of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey - New Jersey Medical School in Newark. The cells stopped growing at an aggressive, "cancerous" pace, says lead researcher Robert Wieder, MD, RID, interim director of medical oncology. A therapy utilizing the drugs may be available within three to five years. (The safety and appropriate dosage have not been determined. Do net attempt to self-treat using regular vitamins.)
