Title:

Dietary and Chemo-suppression of Human Breast Cancer Progression in Nude Mice

Key words:

genistein, soy, curcumin, omega-3 fatty acids, minocyclin

Research Institution:

Location:

New York

Researcher:

Xin-Hua Liu

Project Description:

Dr. Liu developed combinations of dietary and chemo-suppressive therapies for the prevention of micrometastasis in breast cancer patients. The compounds tested include genistein from soy, curcumin, omega-3 fatty acids and a drug, minocyclin. It was expected that the combination therapies would result in having maximum antitumor effects with little or no toxic side-effects.
