Several herb-derived components are currently evaluated in preclinical studies as potential cancer chemopreventive agents. We have recently found that several herbal plants in the Ryukyu Islands, or any other natural compound, have a potential chemopreventive effect on biomarkers of colon carcinogenesis and a growth inhibitory effect on human cancer cells. These studies together with related in vivo and in vitro investigations are summarized and discussed in this review.}, pages = {17--22}, title = {Cancer chemoprevention by natural compounds}, volume = {56}, year = {2007} }
