Green tea slows the growth of prostate cancer tumors

A new study shows that the antioxidant compounds in green tea may reduce the growth and progression of prostate cancer.

Researchers studying 26 men with prostate cancer in a short-term treatment with green tea found that green tea reduced the levels of several proteins in the blood of people with prostate cancer associated with the disease.

This is due to the presence of antioxidant compounds that help prevent cell destruction during the development of cancer.

Certainly, green tea has not been shown to help reduce cancer growth, and more long-term studies are needed to find a better way to treat the disease, the researchers said.

Accordingly, a study was performed on 26 men with prostate cancer who required surgery to remove the tumor. In this study, researchers gave patients daily capsules for one month before surgery.

According to the report, the researchers found that the levels of several cancer-related proteins in their blood decreased.
