Curcumin Research Update |

Turmeric, a yellow spice used widely in Indian cooking,
stops the spread of cancer in mice. Curcumin, an
active compound found in turmeric, helped stop the
spread of breast cancer tumor cells to the lungs
of mice. Tests have already started in people, too,
said Bharat Aggarwal of the Department of Experimental
Therapeutics at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson
Cancer Center in Houston, who led the study. "What's
exciting about this agent is that it seems to have
both chemopreventive and therapeutic properties.
If we can demonstrate that it is efficacious in
humans, it could be of tremendous value, but we're
a long way from being able to make any recommendations
yet," Aggarwal said. Earlier research showed
that curcumin, an antioxidant, can help prevent
tumors from forming in the laboratory. For their
study, Aggarwal and colleagues injected mice with
human breast cancer cells -- a batch of cells grown
from a patient whose cancer had spread to the lungs.
The resulting tumors were allowed to grow, and then
surgically removed, to simulate a mastectomy, Aggarwal
said.
Earlier studies suggest that people who eat diets
rich in Curcumin(turmeric) have lower rates of breast
cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer and colon cancer.
His team would like to try giving curcumin to women
with a high risk of breast cancer -- such as those
who have a mother or sister with the disease.
This study was funded by the U.S. Department of
Defense's Breast Cancer Research Program. Aggarwal's
team is also testing curcumin against pancreatic
cancer and multiple myeloma. |
