Abstract

AIM: Breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women and the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in this population. Numerous factors have been identified as either risk factors or protective factors for breast cancer. However, the role of Vitamin D (Vit. D) in breast cancer remains contentious, with conflicting findings in the literature. The present study aimed to compare serum Vit. D levels between women with and without breast cancer.
