The studies evaluating the role of tocopherols (vitamin E) have varied considerably in results. The variations in effects may have been due to confounding factors from the selection of the study population, variance for specific forms of cancer, ethnic and specific characteristics of the study population (healthy, at risk or affected), the form and quantity in which the supplements were administered, and different proportions in which the various tocopherols or antioxidants are supplemented. This paper will attempt to evaluate the role of antioxidants in the prevention and treatment of cancer, with a focus on vitamin E.

Fabry disease also known as the Anderson-Fabry disease is an inherited lysosomal storage disease related to the X chromosome. Fabry's disease represents a deficiency of an enzyme that aids in the biodegradation of lipids and glycolipid accumulates within blood vessels, tissues and organs. It leads to impaired arterial circulation and the patients may also require kidney transplantation and dialysis. Medications such as Tegretol (carbamazepine) and dilantin are given to such patients that can lead to pain in the hands and feet and enzyme replacement therapy may also be a good option. Patients with Fabry's disease may suffer from strokes, heart attacks and kidney damage. This discussion deals with the nature of Fabry's disease, the actual symptoms of the disease as well as the treatment of the disease suggesting which organs are affected in the body.
