The United States released the results of a massive study: blueberry extract may be able to treat cervical cancer in women

Blueberry, great effect, its energy is so great that it may be beyond our imagination Recently, a study in the United States showed that the combination of blueberry extract and radiotherapy can have significant effect on the major killer of cervical cancer in today's women About 12000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer every year in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and prevention As we all know, radiotherapy using high-energy X-ray and gamma ray is the common means to treat cervical cancer at present But radiotherapy can destroy cancer cells, but it can also damage nearby healthy cells Researchers from the University of Missouri School of medicine have shown that the combination of blueberry extract and radiation can effectively improve the therapeutic effect of cervical cancer According to reports, blueberry pulp contains not only resveratrol, but also flavonoids with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects The researchers used the blueberry extract as a radiosensitizer, using a human cervical cancer cell line to simulate clinical radiotherapy The results showed that the number of cancer cell lines receiving radiotherapy alone decreased by about 20%, while the number of cancer cell lines receiving radiotherapy and using blueberry extract decreased by about 70% At present, the results of this study have been published in the Hungarian Journal of pathology and oncology research The researchers also said that the next step will be to continue to carry out animal experiments to verify the above results.
