Summary
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good and/or bad, vitamin D blood
levels has on stage IV colorectal cancer. Tbe doctors want to see if it is possible to
increase low vitamin D levels into normal range using vitamin D supplements taken by mouth.
Low vitamin D levels have been associated with worse outcomes in persons who have cancer. Low
vitamin D may also cause people to have symptoms such as pain and fatigue. We want to see if
increasing low vitamin D levels will help improve cancer outcomes. Vitamin D is routinely
repleted in all subjects known to be vitamin D deficient. Therefore, the treatment given
would be considered standard of care.
