Intravenous glutathione is impractical given the daily and constant need for glutathione throughout the lifetime of a patient with DS
DNA damage promotes mutations of suppressor in tumor such as calcium/calmodulin dependent serine protein kinase (CASK), p53, as well as stimulation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EFGR) signaling pathway, which are important early events in gastric carcinogenesis (86, 87)
When we receive a prescription, our pharmacy team will contact the patient to arrange pick-up or delivery and have a pharmacist discuss the use of each medication
