Saw palmetto - Serenoa repens or Sabal serrulata
- One of the most widely used phytotherapies for BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia) in the US
- Biological activity in prostate cancer cells
- Saw palmetto extract was shown to inhibit the activity of 5-alpha-reductase
- Anti-inflammatory properties
- Tendency to promote apoptosis in prostate cancer cells [19]
- Slow the growth of prostate cancer cells in vitro
- Growth-inhibitory effect was more potent on prostate cancer cells than on other cancer cell lines
- Saw palmetto-induced reduction in the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in prostate cancer cells
- Cancer cells often use COX-2 as biological fuel to hyperproliferate [19]
several clinical trials published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute
- Found no evidence that saw palmetto was effective in preventing or treating prostate cancer.
- Saw palmetto can have side effects
- May interact with certain medications
Zinek
- Rozporuplné údaje, velmi záleží jaký typ nádoru a stavu
- Zinek navozuje chemosenzitivitu nádoru prostaty při terapii paklitaxelem = zvýšená účinnost [14]
- High levels of zinc in the prostate may promote the growth of prostate cancer cells.
- Zinc may inhibit the growth of prostate cancer cells
- Zinc inhibited the proliferation of prostate cancer cells in vitro (in a laboratory setting)
- Treatment with zinc decreased the proliferation of prostate cancer cells and induced apoptosis (programmed cell death) in vitro.
