　　Doctors at Michigan State University have found that taking vitamin D for at least three years can help cancer patients live longer.

　　The research results show that vitamins have significant benefits in addition to promoting bone health. The research results were published on June 3, 2019 at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (American Society of Clinical Oncology) annual meeting.

　　According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States.

　　"Vitamin D can significantly reduce the risk of death in cancer patients, but unfortunately there is no evidence that it can prevent cancer." said Tarek Haykal, a physician in the Department of Internal Medicine at Michigan State University and author of the study.

　　Researchers have observed data on disease prevention in more than 79,000 patients in multiple studies. These studies randomly compared data from patients taking vitamin D or placebo to three years. Haykal and his team focused on any information related to cancer incidence and mortality.

　　Haykal said: "The difference in mortality between the vitamin D group and the placebo group is statistically very significant, which explains its importance to the cancer population."

　　Although these findings show promise, Haykal warns that the exact vitamin intake and blood level required are still unknown. He also said that it is still unclear how much life span can be extended by vitamin D and why this is the result.

　　Haykal said: "There are still many problems that need more research. We can only say that it takes at least three years to take supplements to see results."

　　However, the results showed enough hope that Haykal hopes to see more doctors, especially oncologists, prescribe vitamin D to patients.

　　He said: "We know that its benefit is that it has minimal side effects. So it has a lot of potential."
