<p>Researcher from University of Pittsburgh Schools of the Health Sciences found the Broccoli sprout extract play an important role in preventing recurrence of Head and Neck cancer.The mystery resolved through &#039;green chemoprevention&#039; trial and is the first study to protect cancer by using extract.</p><p>The research study appears in journal Cancer Prevention Research.</p><p>&amp;quot;With head and neck cancer, we often clear patients of cancer only to see it come back with deadly consequences a few years later,&amp;quot; said lead author Julie Bauman, M.D., M.P.H., co-director of the UPMC Head and Neck Cancer Center of Excellence. &amp;quot;Unfortunately, previous efforts to develop a preventative drug to reduce this risk have been inefficient, intolerable in patients and expensive. That led us to &#039;green chemoprevention&#039;--the cost-effective development of treatments based upon whole plants or their extracts.&amp;quot;<br /><br /><a href="http://www.srlchem.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="http://www.microbiozindia.com/images/ASX.png" alt="" /></a></p><p>Certain crucifer vegetables like Cabbage, Broccoli are proved earlier as best anti carcinogens mainly because of present of molecular compound sulforaphane.</p><p><strong>Story Source: </strong>University of Pittsburgh Schools of the Health Sciences</p><p>Journal References:</p><p>Julie E.
