Correa et al [ 29 ] have clearly shown in a large trial conducted over six years that dietary antioxidant supplementation alone (vitamin C or beta-carotene), without antimicrobial therapy, can limit the progress of gastric cancer and actually may promote regression of precancerous states.
The NSAID sulindac has been shown to cause regression of colorectal adenomas of patients with hereditary forms of polyposis (Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) and Gardner's Syndrome) [ 17 18 19 ] and in sporadic colorectal adenomas [ 20 ] .

These in vitro observations are supported by the Apc minanimal model [ 32 ] and sustained clinical trial in patients with H. pylori gastritis [ 30 ] suggesting that dietary antioxidants do not exacerbate precancerous states but may indeed promote regression.
