متن کاملAntioxidants as Chemopreventive Agents for Breast Cancer
In the last decade the simplistic, stepwise concept of initiation, promotion, and progression has matured to a better understanding of the genotypic changes that ultimately lead to cancer. The hypothesis has been proposed that it may be possible to intervene pharmacologically during this process and that carcinogenesis may be arrested or reversed by synthetic or naturally occurring agents. Evid...
متن کاملRole of chemopreventive agents in cancer therapy.
Tumorigenesis or carcinogenesis is a multi-step process that is induced primarily by carcinogens leading to the development of cancer.
