All About Vitamins: Vitamin B6 in Reduced Risk and Treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)

By Kyle J. Norton.

Vitamin B6 may have a profound effect in reduced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), some scietists suggested.

Vitamin B6, also known as pyridoxine, is a water soluble vitamin found abundantly in green peas, yams, broccoli, asparagus and turnip greens,Peanuts, sunflower seeds, cashews and hazelnuts, meat, fish etc., with functions of amino acid, carbohydrate metabolism, brain health, and liver detoxification, etc.

Non-small cell lung cancer is the most common type of lung cancer with characteristic to grow and spread methodically and predictably.

In the study to examine the clinical outcomes of the sodium cantharidinate/vitamin B6/GP regimen in the treatment of middle-late stage Non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) with
86 cases of NSCLC selected and randomized into two groups; 45 cases in the treatment group were given 30 ml cantharidinate/vitamin B6+ GP regimen, for four 21-day cycles and 41 cases in the control group were subject to regular GP regimen, for four 21-day cycles, at the end of experiment, researchers found
1. Treatment group showed a significant improvement with effectiveness rate of 57.8% in compared to 36.6% in the control group,
2. Patients in group demonstrated an improvement of quality of life
3. Treatment group also displayed a lower toxic/adverse effects in compared with that in the control group.

After taking into account of other risk factors, Dr. Wang B, the lead author said, "odium cantharidinate/vitamin B6/GP regimen had fair effectiveness and synergistically improved the clinical outcomes. It lowered the toxic/adverse effects and its application is worth further investigation and promotion".

Other, in the study to examine the effect vitamin B6 for treatment of non-small cell lung cancer, after observation of vitamin B6 metabolism as a central regulator of cisplatin responses in vitro and in vivo, researchers at the INSERM showed that
1. Vitamin B6 sensitized lung cancer cells to apoptosis induction by distinct types of physical and chemical stress.
2. Pyridoxal kinase (PDXK), the enzyme played an important role in generated the bioactive form of vitamin B6 and deficiency of PDXK expression levels were associated with poor disease outcome in two independent cohorts of patients with NSCLC.

The result of the study demonstrated the important role of pyridoxal kinase (PDXK) in exhibited vitamin B6 in reduced risk and treatment of NSCLC.

In fact, most patients with NSCLC are found to correlation with low levels of pyridoxal kinase (PDXK).

Taking altogether, vitamin B6 may be considered as a secondary and therapeutic treatment of NSCLC.
