There appears to be a significant protective effect on life in cancer patients with solid tumors, although the protective effect does not reach 'half risk' (RR of 0.50) and fluctuates in the range of quarter risk.

Notable
|
Very High See 2 studies |
Although the studies have used superloading of vitamin K (40mg or more) and only in hepatic cancers, the reduction in mortality risk and prolongation of survival times appears to be quite notable

- | Moderate See 2 studies |
Despite a small reduction in prostate cancer mortality seen in smokers with low dose (50mg) vitamin E, this does not appear to hold true as a general statement for all cancer types in most persons.
