Genistein induces maturation of cultured human breast cancer cells and prevents tumor growth in nude mice.

Abstract excerpt

Results of recent studies in animal models of mammary carcinogenesis showed that the soybean isoflavone genistein is a chemopreventive agent. The objective of the present study was to determine whether soybean isoflavones can be used for the prevention of human breast carcinogenesis. Human adenocarcinoma cells that are either estrogen-receptor positive (such as MCF-7) or estrogen-receptor negative (such as...
