Original Message Breast cancer patients were found to have a mean serum level of vitamin D at 9.3 ng/mL, compared to 14.9 ng/mL in controls. A total of 86 out of 90 patients were vitamin D deficient, compared to 69 out of 90 in controls who were vitamin D deficient.

Among breast cancer patients, tumor characteristics including history, grade, stage and receptor status were not significantly associated with serum levels of vitamin. Low bone mineral density was not significantly correlated with vitamin D deficiency.

Menopause status was linked to serum levels of the vitamin among breast cancer patients. Of breast cancer patients, premenopausal women had lower serum vitamin D levels than postmenopausal women, 10.5ng/mL versus 13.5 ng/mL

The study confirmed early epidemiological studies that showed vitamin D deficiency is linked with increased risk of breast cancer. Early studied suggest that maintaining sufficient vitamin d may prevent 75 percent cases of breast cancer.
