There is persuasive evidence, however, that certain antioxidant supplements are effective in the adjuvant treatment of cancer. In other words, these supplements may help conventional therapies work better. What is missing is evidence of the effects of antioxidants in cancer patients undergoing aggressive chemotherapy..."
