The Effects of Genistein at Different Concentrations on Breast Cancer Cells and Dermal Fibroblasts.

This study aimed to evaluate the safety and potential use of soy isoflavones in the treatment of skin problems, difficult-to-heal wounds and postoperative scars in women after the oncological treatment of breast cancer. The effects of different concentrations of genistein as a representative of soy isoflavonoids on tumor cells and skin fibroblasts cultured in vitro were assessed. Genistein affects both healthy dermal fibroblasts and cancerous cells.
