VDR and cancer: The expression of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) is noted across various cancer cell types [52], and an extensive array of studies has shown that 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and its derivatives can inhibit cancer cell proliferation, promote apoptosis, interfere with angiogenesis, and modify cell adhesion and migration, thereby attenuating the invasiveness of cancer cells [53–55].
