The
previous lengthy review concerning the effects of antioxidant compounds used
concurrently with radiotherapy and chemotherapy has been reduced to a reference
guide.
There are only three presently known examples in which any agent classifiable as
an antioxidant has been shown to decrease effectiveness of radiation or
chemotherapy in vivo.
The vast majority of both in vivo and in vitro studies have shown enhanced
effectiveness of standard cancer therapies or a neutral effect on drug action.
