When used with chemotherapy, ascorbate shielded healthy tissues from treatment-related toxicity.
“A significant number of human studies consistently show that ascorbate treatment improved quality of life for patients with cancer, and in combination therapy, ascorbate protected normal tissues from toxicity caused by chemotherapy114.”

From Targeting cancer vulnerabilities with high-dose vitamin C (2019) · cites this paper as [114]
Preclinical and clinical work indicates that high-dose vitamin C may raise the effectiveness and lower the toxicity of some standard chemotherapies when given together in ovarian cancer patients.
“This paper shows in its preclinical and clinical studies that high-dose vitamin C can potentially increase the efficacy and reduce the toxicities of certain conventional chemotherapies when used in combination to treat patients with ovarian cancer.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
