Breast cancer in relationship with dietary antioxidant: possible nutritional and biochemical mechanisms of action: Review study (original) (raw)

Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies and contribute significantly to the societal and economic burden of cancer. Racial disparities are evident for breast cancer survival incidence. The reasons for differences in cancer incidence and survival are not entirely clear. However, diet plays an important role in cancer prevention and survival and may also be implicated in racial and ethnic disparities. Diet high in antioxidant content has been associated with reduced breast cancer risk. According to our knowledge, there is a dearth of information regarding the antitumarogenic effects of phytochemicals. Therefore, the present study aims to: investigate the effect of dietary antioxidant of some plant parts including turmeric, marjoram and on breast cancer cells.
