Ginseng and Cancer
(Source: Internet)
Cell culture studies carried out by Professor David E. Williams and Dr. Sharon K. Kruger from ‘The Linus Pauling Institute’ have demonstrated that:
Certain ginsenosides possess anticancer effects, which shows
(a) Dose-dependent inhibition of cell growth
(b) Tumor cell toxicity
(c) Reverse transformation of tumor
(d) Inhibition of tumor cell invasion
They also found that not all ginsenosides have anticancer properties. Since ginsenosides have a steroidal structure, the above researchers thought that they may have their most profound anticancer effects on hormonally regulated cancers, such as breast cancer.
