vitamin a (retinol)	vitamin a has been studied as a possible treatment for lung cancer without evidence of benefits. available evidence suggests that high-dose vitamin a and beta-carotene may actually increase the risk of adverse effects, especially among alcohol users and smokers.	d
vitamin b12	preliminary evidence suggests that there is no relationship between vitamin b12 status and lung cancer.	d
vitamin b6	epidemiological research suggests that male smokers with higher serum levels of pyridoxine may have a lower risk of lung cancer. well-designed clinical trails of pyridoxine supplementation are needed to confirm these results and supplementation is not standard therapy at this time.	c
