Recently a research with mice shows that intravenous doses of vitamin C could able one day reduce the size of cancerous tumors in any people. But the finding results are preliminary and it is necessary to be confirmed in human body. On the other hand, even if the treatment gets success then it is not a cure but it may be used in combination with other drugs for treatment.
