Ovarian cancerPrevention
There does not exist a serum 25(OH)D level-ovarian cancer incidence curve.
However, based on what is known about solar UVB doses and ovarian cancer mortality rates from ecological studies and serum 25(OH)D-incidence relations for breast and colorectal cancer, it appears that maintaining serum 25(OH)D levels above 40 ng/mL (100 nmol/L) might reduce the risk of ovarian cancer by 25-35%.
