Article Synopsis
- Breast cancer has become the most commonly diagnosed cancer, influenced by various genetic and environmental factors, with recent studies highlighting the potential of dietary interventions for prevention.
- Emerging research suggests that epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), found in green tea, could act as a chemopreventive agent by impacting cell cycle processes and inhibiting cancer-related signaling pathways.
- Despite promising preclinical evidence of EGCG’s anti-cancer properties, there is a lack of large-scale studies exploring its effectiveness in dietary prevention and management of breast cancer.
