lariciresinol/breast neoplasms

Lariciresinol is a dietary lignan that accounts for a significant portion of the total phytoestrogen intake from Western foods. Recent epidemiological studies suggest that high dietary intake of lignans and lariciresinol is associated with reduced breast cancer risk. However, no causal relationship

Dietary lignans may affect breast cancer by modifying tumor characteristics likely to affect prognosis. We investigated usual dietary intakes of total and specific lignans with tumor characteristics in 683 women with breast cancer and 611 healthy women without breast cancer enrolled in the Data Bank

OBJECTIVE To perform an evaluation of selected phytochemicals intake and breast cancer (BC) risk in Mexican women. METHODS We conducted hospital-based case-control study. METHODS Mexico City between 1994 and 1996. METHODS A total of 141 histologically confirmed BC cases were age-matched (+/-3 years)

BACKGROUND Studies conducted in Asian populations have suggested that high consumption of soy-based foods that are rich in isoflavone phytoestrogens is associated with a reduced risk of breast cancer. However, the potential associations of other dietary phytoestrogens--i.e., the lignans or their

BACKGROUND Plant lignans have proven efficacious in blocking estrogen receptors of breast cancer cells. However, available studies have mostly dealt with anti-cancer effects of groups of lignans in certain foods or plants and the effects of specific lignans, especially from a molecular interaction

Nanoparticles, including gold nanoparticles (AuNP), have been used in imaging in cancer treatment and as therapeutic agents and drug delivery vehicles. Particularly lignans, also called phytoestrogens, have strong effects on the treatment of carcinomas due to their antiestrogenic, antiangiogenic and

BACKGROUND While there is extensive literature evaluating the impact of phytoestrogen consumption on breast cancer risk, its role on ovarian cancer has received little attention. METHODS We conducted a population-based case-control study to evaluate phytoestrogen intake from foods and supplements
