　　In the latest issue of Cancer Prevention Research, researchers from Oregon State University found that a compound rich in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli can slow the growth of breast cancer cells, which is particularly effective for early breast cancer patients. obvious.

　　In this new study, the researchers targeted 45 breast cancer patients. Some of the subjects were given a placebo while others were given a certain dose of sulforaphane supplements. The grouping and taking content are random and double-blind, that is, neither the research subjects nor the researchers know the specific situation. This compound called sulforaphane is an antioxidant, and previous studies have shown that it has a certain anti-cancer effect.

　　Sulforaphane contained in the supplement is equivalent to a small cup of broccoli seedlings daily. Broccoli seedlings contain more sulforaphane than mature broccoli. The research team reported that the results of the study showed that taking sulforaphane supplements "decreased the (breast cancer) cell growth characteristic index, which means that this compound may help slow the growth of cancer cells." Research leader Emily Ho said: "This is very encouraging, because (this substance) can help suppress existing tumors, and is not limited to the past understanding that diet can only prevent cancer."

　　Previous studies have shown that eating large amounts of cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage can reduce the incidence of breast cancer in women. This may be because sulforaphane inhibits histone deacetylase and promotes the expression of tumor suppressor genes.

　　In this study, the researchers found that while the growth of breast cancer cells slowed down, histone deacetylases in the patient's body were indeed inhibited.

　　Researchers believe that, on the basis of further discussion and larger studies, in the future, it can be considered to add sulforaphane supplements to the existing conventional breast cancer treatment process, which has the effect of preventing, slowing down the growth of cancer cells and reducing the possibility of recurrence.
