TL;DR: The biologic evidence for an anti-cancer role of 25(OH)D is also strong for prostate cancer, but the epidemiologic data have not been supportive, and some studies suggest that higher circulating 1,25( OH)2D may be more important than 25(oh)D for protection against aggressive, poorly-differentiated prostate cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
