Phytochemicals for the Prevention and Treatment of Gastric Cancer: Effects and Mechanisms
This research examines how natural compounds found in foods can help prevent and treat stomach cancer. These compounds work through multiple mechanisms to kill cancer cells, stop tumor growth, and enhance the effectiveness of conventional cancer treatments. Most importantly, they tend to have fewer side effects than traditional cancer drugs. Impacts on everyday life: – Eating more fruits, vegetables, and other plant foods rich in these compounds may help reduce stomach cancer risk – Natural compounds could be developed into safer cancer prevention supplements and treatments – Combining certain natural compounds with cancer drugs may improve treatment outcomes – Understanding these mechanisms helps explain why a healthy diet is important for cancer prevention – This research supports traditional knowledge about the health benefits of plant-based foods
