Description
Summary:Background and Objectives: This cross‐sectional study of postoperative non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients examined possible effects of vitamin intake and folate status on disease‐free survival. Methods Supplemental vitamin usage, dietary vitamin intake (Willett Food Frequency Questionnaire), red blood cell (RBC) folate, and serum folate concentrations were assessed in patients with a history of NSCLC. Exclusion criteria included factors that alter folate status or that are associated with altered nutritional habits: (1) evidence of cancer on history, physical, or chest radiograph; (2) tobacco, alcohol ingestion (>2 drinks/day), or cancer treatment within 3 months; (3) use of folate antagonists; and (4) age
