Abstract EN
The genesis of cancer is often a slow process and the risk of developing cancer increases with age.
Altering a diet that includes consumption of beneficial phytochemicals can influence the balance and availability of dietary chemopreventive agents.
In chemopreventive approaches, foods containing chemicals that have anticancer properties can be supplemented in diets to prevent precancerous lesions from occurring.
This necessitates further understanding of how phytochemicals can potently maintain healthy cells.
Fortunately there is a plethora of plant-based phytochemicals although few of them are well studied in terms of their application as cancer chemopreventive and therapeutic agents.
In this analysis we will examine phytochemicals that have strong chemopreventive and therapeutic properties in vitro as well as the design and modification of these bioactive compounds for preclinical and clinical applications.
The increasing potential of combinational approaches using more than one bioactive dietary compound in chemoprevention or cancer therapy will also be evaluated.
Many novel approaches to cancer prevention are on the horizon, several of which are showing great promise in saving lives in a cost-effective manner.
