Abstract
Natural or chemically modified dietary phytochemicals are particularly favored for cancer prevention because they can reverse, suppress, or prevent the initial phase of carcinogenesis or the neoplastic cell progression to cancer mass, and therefore, eliminate premalignant and malignant cell populations either in general or in high-risk populations. Screening and identifying dietary phytochemicals for chemoprevention requires in vitro studies of cell lines and animal models before translation into clinical trials. Understanding the molecular pathways that dietary phytochemicals modify could help in designing successful cancer prevention clinical trials. To date, a number of chemoprevention clinical trials have been conducted with limited success. One of the reasons for unsuccessful clinical trials was the lack of a clear molecular target against a particular cancer type. High-throughput screening of phytochemicals to induce premalignant and malignant cell apoptosis by targeting multiple gene pathways should be assessed for future prevention of human cancers.
