Decreases Breast Cancer Risk, Study Shows

Overview:
- Eating more
soy-rich foods could reduce the spread of breast cancer, a new study from
the University of Ulster has revealed.
- Dr Pamela Magee,
from the School of Biomedical Sciences, has been investigating the effects
of a group of dietary compounds, found almost exclusively in soy foods, in
the prevention of cancer spread.
- Dr Magee said:
"Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer affecting women in the
western world, with 950 women in Northern Ireland alone suffering from the
disease per year.
- "But among
South-East Asian populations, and in areas where soy products are
traditionally consumed in high amounts in the diet, incidence of breast
cancer is low.
- "Soy
contains naturally occurring hormone-like compounds called isoflavones that
scientists believe can inhibit breast cancer development.
- "In our
study we used cell cultures to examine the effects of isoflavones on the
invasion of breast cancer cells.
- The isoflavones
exerted potent inhibitory effects on breast cancer cell invasion, even at
concentrations similar to those found in South East-Asian populations.
- "These novel
findings seem to indicate that eating a soy rich products such as soy milk,
soy drinks and desserts, could have an important role in preventing the
spread of cancer cells in the body.
- Further studies
in human volunteers are now needed to confirm whether soy isoflavones will
protect against breast cancer spread in patients.
- "Although
recent advances have been made in tumour detection and treatment, the spread
of cancer remains a significant cause of mortality.
- The invasion of
cancerous cells from their site of origin into the neighboring environment
enables cancerous cells to travel and grow at new sites within the body.
- Any agent,
therefore, which can prevent the invasive process could become a powerful
tool in the prevention of cancer spread."
