Dietary flavonoids, plant-derived polyphenols, show significant potential in cancer prevention and treatment. These compounds exhibit diverse anticancer mechanisms, suggesting their promise as therapeutic agents.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Pharmacology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Flavonoids are abundant plant polyphenols with demonstrated biological activities.
  • Their non-toxic concentrations and diverse effects make them subjects of interest in health research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the role of dietary flavonoids in cancer chemoprevention and chemotherapy.
  • To elucidate the mechanisms by which flavonoids exert anticancer effects.

Main Methods:

  • Review of laboratory studies.
  • Analysis of epidemiological investigations.
  • Evaluation of human clinical trials.

Main Results:

  • Flavonoids exhibit significant effects in both cancer chemoprevention and chemotherapy.
