Abstract :Research progress on the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, from basic research to clinical practice, remains unsatisfactory. Chemotherapy has been the primary treatment for malignant tumors. Although it has some effect, it cannot selectively destroy cancer cells. As a result, patients suffer liver, kidney, GI dysfunction, and bone marrow suppression during chemotherapy, causing interruptions in treatment. The focus has been to seek effective, non toxic side effects, anti-cancer treatment during these few years without harmful side effects. Large doses of intravenous vitamin C (Sodium Ascorbate, hereinafter referred to as: Vit C) as an alternative cancer treatment has been used since the early 1970s. Cameron et al have published large number of peer review papers at that time. However, pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, cell biochemistry, immuno-histochemistry and other research were lagging behind, thus the anticancer mechanism of vitamin C was generally accepted by main-strain medical doctors. The anticancer mechanism of IV vitamin C therapy gained great progress in the past ten years, and has achieved encouraging results.
