The Effects of Over-the-counter Phytoestrogen Product on Prostate Cancer Cells
PublicDownloadable Content
open in viewerPurified phytoestrogens have been shown to have anti-proliferative effects on prostate cancer cells. The plant based over-the-counter phytoestrogen product Promensil has previously been demonstrated to have similar effects on breast epithelial cells. I have investigated the effects of the OTC product on LNCaP prostate cancer cells to determine whether it also has anti-proliferative effects on prostate cancer. Future studies will isolate the individual components of Promensil and examine their individual and synergistic potential to reduce prostate cancer cell proliferation.
