• Abstract:

  Objective: To analyze the

  relationship of Vitamin D in cancer risk reduction,

  as well as its epidemiological, clinical and

  experimental aspects. Methodology: This is an

  integrative literature review conducted through

  the databases of the Virtual Health Library

  (VHL), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO) and Medical Literature Analysis and

  Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE). Results: Twenty-five articles were selected. After

  analyzing the inclusion and exclusion criteria, only seven were part of the final research

  sample. Studies vary in outcome depending on the cancer studied, but generally there

  are clinical data pointing to positive aspects to be deepened regarding vitamin D and

  cancer, where it has the ability to exert anticancer effects. According to data, vitamin D

  may be more effective in cases of breast cancer due to further study in this population.

  Final considerations: Further studies are needed on the subject in question, as it is still

  scarce in the literature, which causes many doubts among scholars in the area. Thus,

  it is essential to clarify whether this relationship between vitamin D and cancer is really

  effective, which will benefit several cancer patients.
