CoQ10

Coenzyme Q-10 (CoQ-10) is a well-known compound primarily recognized for its role in cellular energy production [1]. However, emerging research suggests that CoQ-10 might offer potential benefits in the context of cancer treatment [2]. Studies indicate that CoQ-10 can exert various actions that could be advantageous in inhibiting tumor progression and enhancing the response to cancer therapies.

Studies exploring CoQ-10's efficacy in cancer treatment:

• Prostate Cancer: Research has found that patients with end-stage prostate cancer had an increased survival time supplementing with CoQ-10.
• Lung Cancer: CoQ-10's role in cellular energy metabolism might impact the growth and survival of lung cancer cells, and may reduce the risk of lung cancer [3],[6].

Combining CoQ-10 with other cancer treatments could yield synergistic effects:

• Increased Sensitivity to Chemotherapy: CoQ-10 supplementation may sensitize cancer cells to chemotherapy, potentially improving treatment response [3].
• Synergy with Immunotherapy: CoQ-10's immune-boosting properties might enhance the efficacy of immunotherapies [2].
• Impact on Tumor Growth: CoQ-10's influence on cellular energy metabolism may slow down tumor progression, enhancing the effects of standard treatments [3].
• Targeted Therapy Enhancement: CoQ-10 could potentially enhance targeted therapies by influencing specific signaling pathways within cancer cells [3].
