- Abstract
The article reports on the results of research which was conducted in an effort to evaluate the effect of combined folic acid, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 treatment on cancer in women at high risk for cardiovascular disease. Researchers studied 5,442 U. S. female health professionals with preexisting cardiovascular disease for 7.3 years. They found that combined folic acid, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 treatment had no significant effect on overall risk of total invasive cancer or breast cancer during the folic acid fortification era.
