While preclinical studies suggest the breast cancer (BC) chemopreventive effects of dietary polyphenols, the human evidence is still very weak. The huge existing in vitro-in vivo gap is mainly due to the plethora of potential effects reported by in vitro studies that usually assay polyphenols as
Recent evidence demonstrates that resveratrol (RSV) metabolites, but not free RSV, reach malignant tumors (MT) in breast cancer (BC) patients. Since these metabolites, as detected in MT, do not exert short-term antiproliferative or estrogenic/antiestrogenic activities, long-term
Dietary polyphenols may protect against breast cancer. However, it is unknown whether polyphenols reach human malignant breast tumors in molecular forms and(or) at concentrations likely to act against cancer.
