Then, they tested it on both human and mice melanoma cells\u2014the deadliest form of skin cancer.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers discovered that the drug caused human melanoma cells to die, and hampered melanoma tumor growth in the mouse models by 69 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Because the drug is easily eliminated from the body, it should help reduce possible toxicity effects\u2014a problem with past drugs tested for melanoma\u2014and fight the cancer with little harm to nearby healthy cells.<\/p>\n<p>How it works still isn\u2019t exactly clear, but the researchers believe the compound targets a process involved in cell division and growth, they explain in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the work is preliminary. And because the drug is just based off isothiocyanates, which are found in foods, simply eating your vegetables probably won\u2019t be enough to actually fight melanoma.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are a lot of recommendations that, for example, broccoli can reduce your chances of getting cancer,\u201d study author Arun Sharma, Ph.D., said in the statement. \u201cThose are OK recommendations for prevention, but the compounds in the vegetables alone may not be potent enough to be used in a therapeutic environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s not saying you should skip your vegetables, though: People who eat 10 servings of fruits and vegetables a day were 13 percent less likely to develop cancer, as we reported\u2014plus, their risk of heart disease and stroke was much lower, too.<\/p>\n<p>source: Menshealth<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mom knows best: A compound found in certain vegetables like broccoli may play a role in treating melanoma, new research in the European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry suggests.
