(Family: Fabaceae), as known as green pea or garden pea, has long been important in diet due to its content of fiber, protein, starch, trace elements, and many phytochemical substances. It has been shown to possess antibacterial, antidiabetic, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antihypercholesterolemia, and antioxidant activities and also shown anticancer property. Its nonnutritive biologically active components include alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, isoflavones, phenols, phytosterols, phytic acid, protease inhibitors, saponins, and tannins. This plant is rich in apigenin, hydroxybenzoic, hydroxycinnamic, luteolin, and quercetin, all of which have been reported to contribute to its remedial properties including anticarcinogenesis property. Based on established literature on the anticancer property of and possible mode of action, this review article has focused to demonstrate that could be further explored for the development of anticancer treatment.
豌豆（豆科），又称青豆或荷兰豆，长期以来在饮食中一直很重要，因为它含有纤维、蛋白质、淀粉、微量元素和许多植物化学物质。已证明它具有抗菌、抗糖尿病、抗真菌、抗炎、抗高胆固醇血症和抗氧化活性，还具有抗癌特性。其非营养性生物活性成分包括生物碱、黄酮类化合物、糖苷、异黄酮、酚类、植物甾醇、植酸、蛋白酶抑制剂、皂苷和单宁。这种植物富含芹菜素、羟基苯甲酸、羟基肉桂酸、木犀草素和槲皮素，据报道所有这些成分都有助于其治疗特性，包括抗癌特性。基于关于豌豆抗癌特性及可能作用方式的现有文献，这篇综述文章着重论证豌豆可进一步用于抗癌治疗的开发。
