If I recall, there was a small study of around 15 (?) where many received benefit from high-dose, 380 mg / day. It seems to have an anti-cancer effect BUT, again this is a powerfully anti-oxidant not recommended for concurrent use with oxidizing chemos.
Where this suppliment really has a benefit: to keep the LVF up after AC + herceptin. I believe it is the only natural substance that has FDA endorsement as having a clinically significant effect on the heart.
