Do Flavonoids Affect Different Types of Cancer Differently?
Yes, the impact of flavonoids can vary depending on the type of cancer. For example, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), found in green tea, has been extensively studied for its potential to prevent prostate cancer. Similarly, genistein, an isoflavone found in soy, has shown promise in reducing the risk of breast cancer. The mechanisms through which these flavonoids act can differ based on the cancer type, the stage of the disease, and the specific molecular pathways involved.
