Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer with Intravenous Vitamin C: A Case Report

This case report details the treatment of a patient with stage IV poorly differentiated pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) using intravenous pharmacologic ascorbic acid (PAA) as the sole therapy. The patient survived nearly four years post-diagnosis, exhibiting objective tumor regression and stable disease, as evidenced by serial CT/PET imaging. The proposed

Re-oxygenation Causes Hypoxic Tumor Regression Through Restoration of p53 Wild-Type Conformation and Post-Translational Modifications

This 2012 study explored how re-oxygenation impacts hypoxic tumors by restoring wild-type functionality to p53, a key tumor suppressor often rendered inactive under low oxygen conditions. Under hypoxia, p53 assumes a mutant-like conformation that diminishes its transcriptional and tumor-suppressive activities. Re-oxygenation with 30% oxygen at normobaric pressure reversed these effects
