Implementing lifestyle interventions as a primary prevention strategy is a cost-effective approach to reducing the occurrence of cancer, which is a significant contributor to illness and death globally. Recent advanced studies have uncovered the crucial role of nutrients in safeguarding women's health and preventing disorders. Genistein is an abundant isoflavonoid found in soybeans. Genistein functions as a chemotherapeutic drug against various forms of cancer, primarily by modifying apoptosis, the cell cycle, and angiogenesis and suppressing metastasis. Furthermore, Genistein has demonstrated diverse outcomes in women, contingent upon their physiological characteristics, such as being in the early or postmenopausal stages. The primary categories of gynecologic cancers are cervical, ovarian, uterine, vaginal, and vulvar cancers. Understanding the precise mechanism by which Genistein acts on ovarian cancer could contribute to the advancement of anti-breast cancer treatments, particularly in situations where no specific targeted therapies are currently known or accessible. Additional investigation into the molecular action of Genistein has the potential to facilitate the development of a plant-derived cancer medication that has fewer harmful effects. This research could also help overcome drug resistance and prevent the occurrence of ovarian cancers.
实施生活方式干预作为一级预防策略是一种具有成本效益的方法,可减少癌症的发生,癌症是全球疾病和死亡的重要原因。最近的前沿研究揭示了营养物质在保护女性健康和预防疾病方面的关键作用。染料木黄酮是大豆中含量丰富的一种异黄酮。染料木黄酮作为一种针对多种癌症的化疗药物,主要通过调节细胞凋亡、细胞周期和血管生成以及抑制转移来发挥作用。此外,根据女性的生理特征,如处于绝经早期或绝经后期,染料木黄酮在女性身上表现出不同的结果。妇科癌症的主要类型是宫颈癌、卵巢癌、子宫癌、阴道癌和外阴癌。了解染料木黄酮作用于卵巢癌的确切机制有助于推进抗乳腺癌治疗,特别是在目前尚无已知或可用的特定靶向治疗方法的情况下。对染料木黄酮分子作用的进一步研究有可能促进开发一种有害影响较小的植物源抗癌药物。这项研究还可以帮助克服耐药性并预防卵巢癌的发生。
