The Role of Nutraceuticals in Chemoprevention and Chemotherapy and Their Clinical Outcomes

Figure 1

Cellular pathways affected by the activities of bioactive components in dietary sources. Of the natural compounds present in dietary sources, some are more involved in regulating chemopreventive pathways and some are more effective in influencing chemotherapeutic pathways. However, a few of the bioactive molecules found to date can impart both chemopreventive and therapeutic effects, such as EGCG and genistein. Compound combinations as discussed in the paper that can affect different pathways are shown and can have profound effects on tumor growth and inhibition.
