How do you counsel patients regarding antioxidant use during their course of RT?
We often counsel patients that they shouldn't take very high doses of antioxidants but taking a daily multivitamin with antioxidants is OK. Do you think it is better to have them stop taking the multivitamin during radiation treatment?
