The Claim
In mouse xenograft models of triple-negative breast cancer, daily intraperitoneal administration of vitamin C (500 mg/kg) followed by the ROS-responsive prodrug FAN-NM-CH3 (3 mg/kg) for 10 weeks resulted in 96% tumor growth inhibition and complete tumor regression in 100% of treated mice, with no recurrence observed over 13 weeks of follow-up, while single-agent treatments showed only partial inhibition.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In mice with triple-negative breast cancer tumors, a combination of daily vitamin C and a specific prodrug given for 10 weeks stopped all tumors from growing and eliminated them completely in every treated mouse, with no tumors returning over 13 weeks; treatments with either agent alone only slowed tumor growth partially.

High-dose vitamin C generates hydrogen peroxide outside cancer cells. Cancer cells cannot break down this hydrogen peroxide because they lack a key enzyme, so it builds up inside them. This buildup activates a special drug that releases a poison that breaks DNA. The same hydrogen peroxide also reacts with iron naturally present in cancer cells, creating even more damaging chemicals that wreck DNA further. Normal cells break down the hydrogen peroxide and have little iron, so they stay unharmed. The combined DNA destruction kills all cancer cells and stops tumors from coming back.
What the research says
1 studyIn mice with a tough type of breast cancer, giving vitamin C first and then a special cancer drug made all the tumors disappear and stay gone for months — but using either one alone only slowed the tumors a little.
