Lycopene is a phytochemical found in tomato in the class of carotenoid, a natural pigment with no vitamin A activity found abundantly in tomatoes and other red fruits and vegetables, such as red carrots, watermelons, and papayas,
Tomatoes provide about 80% of the lycopene in the world diet. In plants, lycopene protects the host against excessive photodamage and perform various functions in photosynthesis.
On finding a potent compound for the treatment of kidney cancer, researchers examined the effects of lycopene on renal cell carcinoma (RCC) associated with frequent upper urinary tract cancer in humans, accounting for 80-85% of malignant renal tumors.
The mean numbers of renal carcinomas in the treated group were statistically significantly decreased compared to untreated controls.
Furthermore, the decrease of tumor counts in the lycopene was linearly depending on the concentration of the phytochemical observed by the increase of the supplement from 0 to 200 mg/kg.
Collectively, researchers said, "dietary supplementation with lycopene attenuates the development of renal cell cancers in the predisposed TSC2 mutant Eker rat model:,
Taken altogether, lycopene found in tomato may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of kidney cancer pending on the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
