Cancer is a class of diseases associated with the growth of cells disorderly and uncontrollably due to the alternation of DNA.
Most cases of cancer begin in the cells on the surface of the inner lining tissues of the organ or gland. At the early stage, most cancers are asymptomatic.
However, at the advanced stage, most cancers not can induce common symptoms such as gastrointestinal discomforts, unintended weight loss, loss of appetite, and fatigue but also localized symptoms depending on the affected tissues and organs.
Cancers at this stage also can travel a distance away from the original site to induce secondary metastasis.
According to the statistics provided by the American Cancer Society, in 2018,1,735,350 new cases were diagnosed, representing more than 4,700 new cancer diagnoses each day.
The lifetime probability of being diagnosed with cancer is 39.7% for men and 37.6% for women.
Angiogenesis is the process that develops new blood vessels from pre-existing vessels by invasive tumors to provide energy(nutrition and fluids) for cancerous cells' growth and proliferation.
Cancers are the second leading cause of death worldwide besides heart diseases.
The most common types of cancer in Canada include lung, colorectal, breast, and prostate cancers. These 4 cancers account for half of all cancers diagnosed in Canada.
Leek is a genius of Allium, belonging to the vegetable family vegetable Alliacaea, the same as onion and garlic. Leeks are easy to grow from seed usually reach maturity in the autumn months, and have few pest or disease problems.
On finding a potential plant that processes anti-tumor growth activity researchers compared the anticancer properties of various sulfur and organic compounds like S-allyl mercaptocysteine, quercetin, flavonoids, and ajoene on cancer.
According to the analysis,
* These compounds with various mechanisms such as hindering the cell cycle, inhibiting signaling pathways, inducing apoptosis, and antioxidant activity interfere with diverse stages of formation, growth, differentiation, and metastasis of cancer cells.
* Similar to garlic and onion, other species such as leeks have exhibited anticancer activities, so active natural molecules extracted from them might serve as possible anticancer agents.
Collectively, researchers said, "In this review, we aim to summarize the available data on anticancer mechanisms of 16 species of Allium genus and their major compounds to assist further research on the treatment and prevention of cancers".
Taken together, leeks may be considered a functional food for the prevention and treatment of cancer, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
