Breast cancer is the most common cancer in females in the United States, and is the second cause of cancer-related deaths among females, after lung cancer. In Puerto Rico breast cancer is the second leading cause of death in females. This is a case of a 52-year-old patient with a diagnosis of metastatic breast adenocarcinoma. The patient arrived in our clinic after having difficulty with her chemotherapeutic regime. Positive outcomes were obtained after three months of treatment with high doses of intravenous vitamin C infusions. Studies with high dose vitamin C have shown cytotoxic and anti-metastatic activity on various cancer types mainly by its action as a pro-oxidant agent. Based on the outcomes obtained in this clinical case, we recommend continuing studying the role of intravenous infusion of high dose vitamin C, as an adjuvant treatment for breast cancer.
