Vitamin D deficiency and the tumour characteristics in Breast cancer: Correlation between Vitamin D deficiency and the tumor characteristics in Breast cancer patients

Vitamin D insufficiency is associated with a higher risk of breast, prostate, and colon cancers due to its role in cellular proliferation and metastasis. Patients with breast cancer and low 25(OH)D levels (below 30 or 32 ng/ml) tend to have more aggressive disease and poorer outcomes. While Western studies indicate a correlation between vitamin D status and breast cancer incidence, its relevance to the Indian population is uncertain, as India has abundant sunlight year-round.
