Quercetin and Cancer Chemoprevention

Quercetin and Cancer Chemoprevention

Several molecules present in the diet, including flavonoids, can inhibit the growth of cancer cells with an ability to act as "chemopreventers". Their cancer-preventive effects have been attributed to various mechanisms, including the induction of cell-cycle arrest and/or apoptosis as well as the antioxidant functions. The antioxidant activity of chemopreventers has recently received a great in...

Oral Cancer and Chemoprevention

Oral cancer is one of the major global threats to public health. The development of oral cancer is a tobacco-related multistep and multifocal process involving field cancerization and carcinogenesis. As, curative therapy available for oral cancer often results in debilitating changes in appearance, speech, swallowing and breathing, preventive strategies are desirable. Chemoprevention , is the u...

MicroRNA and cancer chemoprevention.

MicroRNAs (miRNA) are a group of naturally occurring, small, noncoding, and single-strand RNA molecules that regulate gene expression at the posttranscriptional and translational levels. By controlling the expression of oncogenic and tumor suppressor proteins, miRNAs are believed to play an important role in pathologic processes associated with malignant progression including tumor cell prolife...
