Curcumin for chemoprevention of colon cancer.
The most practical approach to reduce the morbidity and mortality of cancer is to delay the process of carcinogenesis through the use of chemopreventive agents. This necessitates that safer compounds, especially those derived from natural sources must be critically examined for chemoprevention. A spice common to India and the surrounding regions, is turmeric, derived from the rhizome of Curcuma...
متن کاملSphingolipids in the chemoprevention of colon cancer.
Sphingolipids were first described more than 100 years ago by the physician Thudicum who named the fatty substance he found in brain, sphingosin. Among multiple other functions, sphingolipids are lipid messengers in the signaling pathways of growth factors, cytokines, cellular stresses and others. As such, they are involved in the regulation of a wide spectrum of processes that modulate cell gr...
متن کاملChemoprevention of breast cancer: recommendations and rationale.
• The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends against the routine use of tamoxifen or raloxifene for the primary prevention of breast cancer in women at low or average risk for breast cancer. (See “Clinical Considerations” for a discussion of risk.) D recommendation The USPSTF found fair evidence that tamoxifen and raloxifene may prevent some breast cancers in women at low or av...
متن کاملBreast cancer chemoprevention--an update.
This article reviews the recent findings of the IBIS-1 and ATAC trials regarding the role of tamoxifen and anastrozole in the chemoprevention of breast cancer. It also emphasises the need to individualise chemoprevention strategies, and to identify high-risk women who are most likely to develop oestrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer. The prevention of ER-negative disease requires furthe...
متن کاملProgress in breast cancer chemoprevention.
Over the past years there have been significant advances in breast cancer treatment and early detection. For the first time, a decrease in cancer mortality has been observed. Recently, much progress has been made in the understanding of carcinogenesis partly due to available new technologies to detect early molecular changes in the tissue. The knowledge of breast cancer carcinogenesis has provi...
