A method for killing cancer cells of a mammal comprising:
- contacting the cancer cells in vitro with one or more compounds selected from the group of Vitamin C, Selenium, or Quercetin;
- determining whether the cancer cells are affected in vitro by one or more compounds selected from the group of Vitamin C, Selenium, or Quercetin, and, if so;
- administering one or more compounds selected from the group of Vitamin C, Selenium, or Quercetin to the cancer cells of the mammal in vivo in an amount effective to kill cancer cells.
A method for sensitizing cancer cells of a mammal to a therapeutic treatment comprising:
- contacting the cancer cells in vitro with one or more compounds selected from the group of Vitamin C, Selenium, or Quercetin;
- determining whether the cancer cells are sensitized in vitro to a therapeutic treatment by one or more compounds selected from the group of Vitamin C, Selenium, or Quercetin, and, if so;
- administering one or more compounds selected from the group of Vitamin C, Selenium, or Quercetin to the cancer cells of the mammal in vivo in an amount effective to sensitize the cancer cells to the therapeutic treatment.
A method of treating a subject for a neoplastic condition, the method comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of a composition comprising one or more compounds selected from the group of Vitamin C, Selenium, or Quercetin, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
