Risks of Pancreatic Cancer and Dietary Glucosinolates
Abstract
Pancreatic cancer has poor prognosis and is detected in the late stages usually. There is no way for specific prevention of pancreatic cancer. Brassicaceae vegetable-produced glucosinolates and isothiocyanates are known as anticancer substances. Aim of this mini-review was to estimate opportunities of pancreatic cancer prevention by glucosinolates and their derivatives. Results of ten clinical and epidemiologic studies were discussed. It was shown no clear and solid evidence for positive effects of glucosinolates, isothiocyanates or plants containing these substances in pancreatic cancer prevention or treatment have been observed.
