Seven isoflavones, biochanin A, daidzein, genistein, genistin, prunectin, puerarin, and pseudobaptigenin were tested for cytostatic and cytotoxic effects on 10 newly established cancer cell lines of the human gastrointestinal origin. Proliferation of HSC-41E6, HSC-45M2, and SH101-P4 stomach cancer cell lines was strongly inhibited by biochanin A and genistein, whereas other stomach, esophageal,...

Upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding can be a rare manifestation of primary or metastatic tumor in the stomach.

We report the first case of upper GI bleed as a manifestation of laryngeal cancer in the stomach.
