IODINE AND VARIOUS CANCERS

Some authors discuss more than one type of cancer; for example, thyroid, breast, and stomach cancer.

Brownstein discusses the apoptotic effects of iodine and sees iodine as both an oxidant and an anti-oxidant.

Flechas says that iodine induces apoptosis and inhibits cells from forming cancer. He also emphasizes that the absence of iodine in the thyroid causes goiter -- and goiter is associated with breast cancer, stomach cancer, esophageal cancer, ovarian cancer and endometrial cancer.

Carrasco discusses how the NIS symporter can be used to enhance RAI therapy for various cancers.

Venturi discusses the evolution of iodine and why iodine may be important in the cancer of the thyroid, breast, and stomach.

Grandics discusses iodine deficiency and its correlation with thyroid and breast cancer.  He also states that iodine deficiency has a profound negative effect on the immune system, with a significant immune deficiency being reported among patients with gastric cancer, thyroid cancer, and goiter.
