I asked my oncologists and urologists the same question, and they all gave me the same scripted answer. No one knew if vitamins could help my cancer. No one knew if I could affect my IGF1 levels by diet ("I don't know but I doubt that.").
After this, I worked closely with several surgeons and realized how non-curious most doctors/surgeons are.
We create systems and then train individuals to operate within those systemically flawed organizations. The medical industry is incredibly complicated due to each link in the chain collecting their often exorbitant fees.
It's probably because there is no known or proposed potential mechanism for how "vitamins could help [your] cancer". I bet most doctors try to keep up to date on scientific studies that show promise.
Rather than say "no", they say "there's no evidence". Probably because of the litigious nature of the job.
What do you expect them to do, if there isn't any evidence?
What's worse, asking about things like vitamins to help cancer treatment gets you labeled as a kook. Wouldn't improving your general health help your body fight cancer?
That would seem to be a reasonable assumption, but you must not like vaccines if you think that way, Karen.
