For a 6 month period calcium and\/or vitamin D or a placebo were administered to the patients. It turned out that the formation of new tumor tissue can be reduced by calcium and vitamin D. The researchers concluded that calcium and vitamin D are a potential alternative to chemotherapy in colorectal cancer.
