Cancer chemoprevention with dietary phytochemicals

Surh, Young-Joon·2003·Nature reviews. Cancer

Abstract

Chemoprevention refers to the use of agents to inhibit, reverse or retard tumorigenesis. Numerous phytochemicals derived from edible plants have been reported to interfere with a specific stage of the carcinogenic process. Many mechanisms have been shown to account for the anticarcinogenic actions of dietary constituents, but attention has recently been focused on intracellular-signalling cascades as common molecular targets for various chemopreventive phytochemicals.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Formononetin, biochanin A, coumestans, genistein, and daidzein, which are low-potency estrogenic molecules known as phytoestrogens, can compete with endogenous estrogens in binding to the estrogen receptors, and thus block their mitogenic effects.

    “In particular, formononetin, biochanin A, coumestans, genistein, and daidzein (found in beans and in particular fava beans and lupin), which are low-potency estrogenic molecules (i.e., phytoestrogens), can compete with endogenous estrogens in binding to the estrogen receptors, and thus blocking its mitogenic effects (72).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
