Lead researcher Joseph Cullen, MD, University of Iowa professor of surgery and radiation oncology, shared in an interview with Fox News Digital that the "groundbreaking" findings are the result of 20 years of research on vitamin C.

After testing vitamin C in the lab, Iowa researchers found that using vitamin C in much higher doses "worked great" in killing cancer cells.

"Vitamin C, which is inexpensive and well-tolerated, may improve the efficacy of chemotherapy with a good quality of life."

"We found that at these high doses, ascorbate [vitamin C] actually generates hydrogen peroxide," Cullen said. "And the hydrogen peroxide is what kills the cancer cells."

The patients who received vitamin C in the phase 2, FDA-approved trial also seemed to "better tolerate the chemotherapy they were given," according to the researcher.
