Article Synopsis
- Many cellular signaling pathways play a crucial role in regulating important processes such as cell growth, movement, and programmed cell death, and their disruption can lead to cancer development and progression.
- Recent research has highlighted the potential of natural products, like quercetin—a flavonol found in everyday foods—as effective agents in cancer treatment due to their ability to inhibit tumor growth through various mechanisms.
- This summary focuses on the therapeutic benefits of quercetin specifically in gastrointestinal cancers, including pancreatic, gastric, colorectal, esophageal, hepatocellular, and oral cancers.
