Broccoli can treat breast cancer

Business club, Aug 20 - drugs from broccoli are being tested to see if they can treat breast cancer patients and prevent tumor growth Previous studies have shown that a compound released after eating broccoli can increase breast protective enzymes At present, scientists have used this protective enzyme, also known as sulforaphane, in the treatment of breast cancer patients Drugs from broccoli are being tested to see if they can treat breast cancer patients and prevent tumor growth Previous studies have shown that a compound released after eating broccoli can increase breast protective enzymes At present, scientists have used this protective enzyme, also known as sulforaphane, in the treatment of breast cancer patients For a long time, it has been thought that eating cruciferous vegetables like broccoli can reduce the risk of turning arthritis into cancer, but the mechanism of reducing the risk of cancer has not been understood Researchers at the Food Research Institute (IFR) believe that sulforaphane can stimulate the body's own anti-cancer mechanism "Sulforaphane is very important," said Dr Maria Taka of IFR Norway "The evidence shows that it can help maintain a healthy balance of human antioxidants against the effects of diet, the environment or other carcinogens." "To be effective, you may need to eat broccoli three to four times a week Some people may think it will be difficult to do it Our family has already begun to do so Researchers are looking at whether eating broccoli extract three times a day for two months can slow down the growth of tumor cells Sulforaphane is produced when human body ingests glycoside, a compound in broccoli Researchers believe that sulforaphane can activate a human gene that raises antioxidant levels and blocks an enzyme called HDAC, which promotes tumor growth Sulforaphane may also promote the production of enzymes that excrete carcinogens Studies have shown that sulforaphane may stop the development of cancer stem cells, and chemotherapy and radiotherapy may cause the growth of cancer cells to rebound Two new experiments on broccoli drugs are under way in the United States At Johns Hopkins University and Kimmel comprehensive cancer center in Sydney, researchers asked breast cancer patients to take sulforaphane every day for two consecutive weeks to see if the drug could slow down the growth of tumors and increase the number of breast protective enzymes Meanwhile, researchers at the knight Cancer Institute in Oregon are looking at whether eating broccoli extract three times a day can slow the growth of cancer cells after two months.
