A growing body of evidence suggests that chronic low-grade inflammation and oxidative stress may lead to cancer development. These discoveries complement the usual focus prevention primarily concentrates on carcinomas, i.e., ectodermal or endodermal (embryonic) tissue-derived cancers, which are more exposed lifestyle/environment-related risk factors. Based these findings, preventive strategies ...

Cancer chemoprevention is defined as the use of natural, synthetic or biological chemical agents to reverse, suppress or prevent carcinogenic progression of invasive cancer. Carcinogenesis is a complex multi-step process; therefore, it is necessary to attack cell proliferation, stimulate apoptosis and inhibit angiogenesis. There have been more than 60 randomised trials using chemopreventive pot...
