title = "Nutritional status of patients with untreated cervical cancer. II. Vitamin assessment",
abstract = "Prospective vitamin assessment was undertaken in 78 patients with untreated cancer of the uterine cervix. At least one abnormal vitamin level was present in 67\% of patients while individual levels were abnormal in as many as 38\% of patients. Significantly lowered levels of plasma folate, vitamin A, and vitamin C were present. Although most of these vitamins did not correlate with other parameters of protein-calorie malnutrition, the possible preventative and treatment effects of these vitamins require additional investigation.",
