Dark cherry compounds may slow aggressive breast cancer growth, study finds
A study conducted by Texas A&M University researchers suggests that anthocyanins found in dark sweet cherries may inhibit the growth of triple-negative breast cancer in mice. While promising, researchers emphasize that these findings are preliminary and require further human clinical trials.
Why it matters
Triple-negative breast cancer is an aggressive form of the disease with limited treatment options, making new potential therapeutic avenues highly significant.
Washington, Sept. 4 (SANA) Natural compounds found in dark sweet cherries may help slow the growth and spread of triple-negative breast cancer, according to a new study in mice that researchers say could point to potential complementary approaches to treatment.
Researchers at Texas A&M University examined the effects of anthocyanins, naturally occurring compounds that give dark cherries their color, on triple-negative breast cancer, SciTechDaily reported Wednesday.
