“…However, the adult population bears tumour cells that cannot revert to normal cells, and thus effective strategies to prevent cancer include avoiding continuous contact between these cells and promoters and/or aggressively inhibiting the tumour promoter effects. Therefore, to prevent cancer, it is essential to find plants that contain effective compounds (anti-tumour promoters) that delay, inhibit or block tumour promotion, which is a reversible and long-term process (Yasukawa, 2012) Prostate cancer is a very good example for chemoprevention because prostate cancer is typically slow growing and is usually diagnosed in elderly males. The extract of the bark of Pygeum africanum (Prunus Africana) has been used in Europe as a prevention and treatment of prostate disorders including benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH).…”

“…Cancer prevention is an important issue for human health worldwide. We have previously reported the inhibition of tumour promotion induced by 12-Otetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) following initiation with 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) in mouse skin by various components from plants and fungi [1,2]. Solidago, commonly known as goldenrod, is a genus comprising 100 to 120 species of flowering plants in the aster family, Asteraceae.…”
