Pharmacological Therapy 63: 265, 1994] Cancer researchers intentionally caused kidney tumors in rats with the use of iron and then divided the rats into two groups, one group receiving only adequate amounts of vitamin E and another group receiving supplemental vitamin E. Among the rats that received low levels of vitamin E, 44 percent develop kidney tumors while among the rats receiving supplemental vitamin E only 5 percent developed tumors. This study suggests iron is a carcinogen and vitamin E is an antidote.

The incidence of kidney tumors was two to four times higher with an estrogen + iron regimen than when estrogen was given with an iron-poor diet. No tumors were observed in animals treated with low or high-iron diets Estrogen is needed to loosen the iron to promote tumors, circulating levels of iron are not meaningful because most iron in the blood circulation is bound to proteins and will not promote cancer growth. Circulating levels of iron are much higher in animals given a high-iron diet plus estrogen.

Among the rats that received low levels of vitamin E, 44 percent develop kidney tumors while among the rats receiving supplemental vitamin E only 5 percent developed tumors. This study suggests iron is a carcinogen and vitamin E is an antidote. [Cancer Research 57: 2410, 1997] _ \ j Iron, occupation and cancer People who work with metals, particularly individuals who may inhale airborne iron particles, have been found to be more prone to develop cancer and other diseases.

The incidence of kidney tumors is two to four times higher with an estrogen + iron regimen than when estrogen is given with an iron-poor diet. No tumors were observed in animals treated with low or high-iron diets. Circulating levels of iron are much higher in animals given a high-iron diet plus estrogen. [Carcinogenesis 19: 1285-90, 1998] Of particular interest is the fact that breast cancer cells exhibit 5 to 15 times more receptors for iron deposition (transferrin receptors) than normal cells. Iron-carrying proteins like transferrin are growth factors for breast tumors.

For example, methylmercury and mercury chloride have been shown to cause kidney tumors in male mice. Studies of those exposed occupationally, such as chloralkali and nuclear weapons workers, dentists, and dental technicians, indicate that exposure to low levels of mercury may increase the risk of lung, kidney, and brain tumors.™ Better studies on these groups of high-risk individuals need to be done. No one has specifically examined the relationship between dental amalgams and brain tumors, but there is suggestive evidence that they are related.

Acarbose can impair kidney function and has caused cancerous kidney tumors in rats. It can cause hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar levels, so if you're taking it, be sure to have a readily available source of dextrose on hand to counteract hypoglycemia. A CAUTION! Think Twice About Taking This Drug If... • You have kidney problems of any kind. • You have serious intestinal problems. • You are exposed to stress such as fever, trauma, infection, or surgery.

Of 18 kidney tumors treated, 13 (72%) showed no x-ray evidence of residual tumors immediately following treatment. One patient remains cancer-free 2 years following treatment. In a related NIH study involving adrenal gland tumors, 7 of 11 tumors (64%) showed no active disease following RFA. Though the remaining 36% of patients had evidence of residual tumors on follow-up imaging, all patients treated had x-ray confirmation that most of the targeted tumor was killed by treatment (Healthlink 2000).

The FAO-WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives said in 1993 that new data about potassium bromate showed long-term toxicity and carcinogenicity including kidney tumors, tumors of the lining of the stomach, and thyroid tumors in rats and slightly increased kidney tumors in hamsters. On the basis of the new safety data and the new data on residual bromate in bread, the Committee concluded the use of potassium bromate, as a flour treatment agent was not appropriate. The previous acceptable level of treatment of flours for bread-making was therefore withdrawn.

Oral administration to mice Induced liver and kidney tumors (Kanisawa and Suzuki, 1978).

Over the last decade, a plethora of new studies have identified a wide range of additional carcinogenic products and processes inducing cancers in a wide range of organs, particularly lung, brain, bladder, and kidney tumors and multiple myeloma. e*-17>5658 2.

For D and L limonene, the Committee the principal toxicological finding was that rf-limonene worsens spontaneously occurring nerve damage in mature male rats with subsequent occurrence of kidney tumors. The Committee concluded that "the postulated mechanism for d-limonene-induced neuropathy and renal tumors in the male rat was probably not relevant to humans." The ADI (see) was established based upon the significant decreases in the body weight gain associated with the administration of rf-limonene to male and female rats and mice and female rabbits.

Shogen was studying the effects of such embryos on kidney tumors in frogs as well as on tumor cells of other species, including humans. Results were promising. In 1981, she founded the Alfacell company to develop such substances for the market. Onconase (formerly called P30 Protein) is the most advanced of the young company's products. In 1984, the company developed an unpurified extract of leopard frog embryos. It was found to exert unique effects on cell lines. Toxicity studies showed that it did not cause organ damage in rats or dogs.

Joachim Liehr from the University of Texas at Galveston reported that vitamin C inhibits the incidence of kidney tumors induced by female sex hormones. But pre-treatment of hamsters with vitamin C protected them against the effects of DES (a cancer-causing synthetic hormone) injections. Dr. M.E. Poydock of the Mercyhurst College Cancer Research Center, Eire, PA, told of a patient who showed a significant reduction in tumor after just three injections of vitamin C and B12 (29-31). Dr.

Vitamin C reduced the incidence and severity of kidney tumors in animals exposed to the hormones estradiol or diethylstilbestrol. 137 Through a wide variety of mechanisms, vitamin C is a potent inhibitor of cancer.138 2) Augmenting medical therapy. C may be able to enhance the toxicity of chemo and radiation against the cancer cells while protecting the patient from possible harm. C was able to enhance the effectiveness of a drug (misonidazole) that improves outcome in radiation treatment of cancer.

Vitamin C has also been shown to inhibit the development of estrogen-induced kidney tumors in hamsters. Large doses of vitamin C reduced the severity and incidence of mammary tumors in RIII mice and ultraviolet light-induced skin tumors in hairless mice. Isomers and metabolites of vitamin C may also have therapeutic benefit in different cancer sites in experimental models.23 Vitamin C ascorbate, in conjunction with other nutrients such as zinc, vitamin B12, and other cancer-inhibiting agents, has a synergistic antitumor effect.
